French human rights activists campaigning for the freedom of a Iranian mother who was convicted of adultery say they fear she could be stoned to death as early as Wednesday.
"Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani could be threatened with execution tomorrow," said a statement Tuesday from the French magazine "La Regle du Jeu", which is run by Paris' best known philosopher, Bernard-Henri Levy.
Ashtiani's supporters planned to hold a demonstration outside the Iranian embassy later Tuesday, to protest what they see as Tehran's unfair trial and inhumane punishment of the 43-year-old mother-of-two.
