Shocking

Sir, — The report of two young Iranian women being sentenced to death by stoning for prostitution and other "moral offences" (Dec. 20) is shocking. It is a pointer to the unfairness of the law that will punish a mentally-challenged girl for prostitution while letting those men who sought her services go scot-free.
