Brazil Offers Asylum for Sakineh Mohammadi

Sakineh Mohammadi

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula today offered to give asylum to Sakineh Mohammadi, an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery.

"I want to make an appeal to my friend Ahmadinejad, the supreme leader of Iran, and to the government of Iran to allow Brazil to take in the woman”, Lula said [AFP, 31 July].

Mohammadi, a 43-year-old mother of two, was sentenced to death by stoning after being convicted in 2006 of having an extramarital affair. Her sentence sparked an outcry in Western countries, and was temporarily halted earlier this month by the Iranian judiciary chief.

"I have to respect country’s laws, but if my friendship and regard I have for the president of Iran and the Iranian people is worth something, if this woman is causing discomfort, we could take her in Brazil," Lula added.
