CNN) -- Authorities in Tehran, Iran, have given the go-ahead to execute a woman who initially was sentenced to death by stoning, according to an activist working on her behalf.

However, what method will be used to execute Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani is unclear, said Mina Ahadi, spokeswoman for the International Committee Against Stoning. The execution could happen as soon as Wednesday, she said, citing information received from a source in Tabriz, Iran, who is close to Ashtiani's family.

Ashtiani initially was sentenced to death by stoning for adultery. The Iranian government later said she was also convicted of murdering her husband, but her lawyer and family dispute that.

A letter from Tehran was delivered to the prison in Tabriz where Ashtiani is being held three days ago, Ahadi said, giving the go-ahead for Ashtiani's execution.

Obviously you were incapable of understanding the correlation.

"There is no sworde to bee feared more than the Learned pen." (1571?)

Just as men are to fear the pen woman are to fear the penis in those countries. Unauthorized contact with one could very well be deadly.

As for condemning such customs/cultures, being a healthy male, of course I strenuously object to them. What male wouldn't oppose a government/culture which, in any way, led to women being wary of penises. Hardly a laughing (funny) matter.
