Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who is facing death by stoning in Iran over alleged adultery allegation, accused Tehran authorities in of fabricating the charges against her in an attempt to execute her in secret.
In an exclusive interview with the British Guardian, which took place through an intermediary who the London newspaper did not name, citing security reasons, Ashtiani said the authorities were lying: 'They are embarrassed by the international attention on my case and they are desperately trying to distract attention and confuse the media so that they can kill me in secret.'"
