Majlis abolish law on stoning punishment

Head of Majlis Judicial and Legal Commission Hojatoleslam Ali Shahroukhi said on Monday that the law on stoning punishment has been abolished.

The amendment to the law was made in line with the expediency of the Islamic system, he said.

In an exclusive interview with IRNA, he said since Islam has set very tough conditions for proving crimes subject to stoning sentence, the member of Majlis judicial and legal commission decided to omit it from the Islamic penal law.
