Iranian woman survives execution: report



TEHRAN, Nov 5 (AFP) - A Iranian woman found guilty of complicity to murder has survived
her

execution by stoning by managing to escape the hole she was buried in, the
WomeninIran.com website reported Tuesday.

Under Iran's interpretation of Islamic law, men condemned to death by stoning are 
buried
up to their hips while women are buried up to their chests.

If they manage to escape the burial before being pelted with small stones, they are 
free to
go.

Such was the case for the woman in the central city of Yazd who was condemned to die 
for
complicity in the murder of her husband, said the site run by Iranian women 
journalists.

The report did not name the woman or say when the incident took place.

Death by stoning is mostly used to punish adulterors, but Iran' reformist have recently
signalled their willingness to find an alternative punishment following complaints 
from a
series of visiting European dignitaries.
