On August 11, 1997, 20-year-old Zoleykhah Kadkhoda was found guilty of adultery and sentenced to death by stoning, a popular form of capital punishment in the Middle East, and one of the most brutal.
After the horrible and painful ordeal she was taken to the morgue where it was discovered that she was still alive. She was granted amnesty later the same year.
