"Once again, Zahra Khanum tied her chador around her waist, kneeled down, and began to scratch the earth with her hands. The ground was soft and moist. When the hole was large enough, she gathered, one by one, her niece Soraya’s bones, took them down and washed them in the stream, then returned and carefully placed them in the earthen grave, which she covered over with leaves and branches. Then, and only then, did she pray and burst into tears."
The Stoning of Soraya M. is based on a true story and tells of one of the victims of stonings in modern Iran. Please click here for the movie trailer. Apologies for the advert up front.
