Currently, six out of fifty-two Muslim-majority countries in the world
use stoning as a legally-sanctioned form of punishment.
Global
Campaign to Stop Killing and Stoning Women!
Initiated to address the intensifying trend of cultural and
religious legitimisation of lethal violence against women, and help render unacceptable the use of religion, culture and tradition to excuse or justify violence against women.
THE STONING OF SORAYA M. is inspired by French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam's acclaimed international best-seller of the same name which first brought global attention to the real Soraya, who in 1986 was stoned to death by her fellow villagers, in the presence of her children.
The film is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh from a screenplay by Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh and Cyrus Nowrasteh.
Starring:
Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog)
Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ)
Mozhan Marnò, (Charlie Wilson's War)
