The authorities announced his conviction in the case of murder that after the hustle and bustle on the stoning sentence has erupted last summer and his lawyer - which has since been arrested - she never formally respond to the trial of the murder and tortured into confessing. The Iranian authorities could use the charge of murder to justify the execution by hanging from Ashtiani stoning.

In new footage broadcast on television news in English, the mother of two children aged 43 was introduced prison at his home outside of the city of Tabriz in Iran in the Northwest, where it demonstrated acting on the murder of December 2005, complete with a portrait of her husband actor.

Later this year, she was found guilty of adultery and sentenced to be stoned to death, even if it has retracted a confession she said was made under duress.

After under intense demands of Western politicians and rights groups to release Ashtiani, Iran put his conviction stoning for adultery to maintain in July for consideration by the Supreme Court. Need to wait more than a month later that his alleged involvement in the murder confession was aired and Iranian officials announced that she had been guilty.

In the film, said Ashtiani Taheri attached wire at the foot of her husband and other size - events simulated scattering - but it took seven tent for him to die. "The seventh time my husband does a not move." "He died," she says.

The programme, accompanied by a warning to the viewers, showed still together photographs of the dead body of her husband, who seemed burned.

Ashtiani gave similar details in his previous confession on 12 August. It has also shown in two other saying 15 September that it had not been tortured State television appearances and on 15 November, that she was a sinner. But it was the first time, it showed in the House where the murder took place.
