No one deserves such a punishment
Great decision, Brazil!
Congratulations for your courage!
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has offered to provide refuge to a woman facing execution in Iran.
President Lula asked Iran to allow Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani to accept the offer.Ms Ashtiani's case prompted international outrage when she was initially sentenced to death by stoning.Although that threat was apparently lifted last month, she may still face execution by hanging.
"I call on the supreme leader of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to permit Brazil to grant asylum to this women," Mr Lula said at a campaign rally for his party's presidential candidate.
"If she is causing problems there, we will welcome her here," he added.
Iranian officials have said that judges are currently reconsidering the sentence of Ms Ashtiani, who was sentenced to death by stoning following a conviction for adultery.Despite retracting a confession that she said she had been forced to make under duress, the 43-year-old was found guilty.
We deeply hope this woman can go on living and that the human rights can be respected all over the world once for all.
"Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone"
