it worked once
why not again?
and in any case would it kill you to sign the petition anyway, if you dont sign it and her execution goes ahead then you haven't lost anyhting however if you do sign it and it saves an innocent womans life then you still haven't lost anything it costs nothing.
sign it! it might help this woman and if it doesnt well at least you tried to help

thats their culture...
this is a tough debate. fair enough i dont agree with stoning her to death, but on the other hand we shouldnt interfere too much in other country's culture. men are a lot more powerful than women in that country arent they?
death sentence for being raped????? very very harsh
