Iranian woman sentenced to stoning admitted to helping kill her husband- but claims torture


Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, the Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning on charges of adultery, confessed on TV to being an accomplice in her husband's death- but says that she only did so after being tortured for two days.

She is under sentence for murder as well as adultery. The Iranian government has promised not to stone her "for the time being-" but reserves the right to hang her from a crane.
