Saving Sakineh

Pupils in S1 and S2 classes have been learning about Rights and Responsibilities in their Modern Studies classes. They have learnt about the case of Sakineh Ashtiani, an Iranian woman who was sentenced to death by stoning for adultery. Her sentence has now been commuted to death by hanging. Amnesty International is campaigning for Sakineh to be spared execution and granted a fair trial. Pupils at Currie have written letters to support this important campaign.
