Stop Stoning in Iran

  • Charity

    Amnesty International UK

In Iran stoning a person to death is not against the law but picking the wrong size stone is. Right now at least 14 people in Iran are at the risk of execution by stoning.

Your money will help to lobby the authorities in Iran to comply with international law. Amnesty want to raise public awareness so people can be aware that this abhorrent practice still takes place.

A donation of just £2 a month can help Amnestys' campaign to ban execution by stoning.

Why Donate?

  • In Iran stoning a person to death is not against the law but picking the wrong size stone is.
  • Be part of a movement of 3 million like-minded people worldwide to stop human rights violations
