    Ofcom has ruled that Iran's state-run Press TV station, which has offices in London, did not breach the UK's broadcasting rules in transmitting a programme that showed an Iranian woman participating in the reconstruction of her alleged part in the murder of her husband.


    Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43,whose sentence of death by stoning for adultery triggered an international outcry, was taken from prison to her home in Osku, in Iran's East Azarbaijan province, last December. She appeared in front of a camera for Press TV recounting how she rendered her husband unconscious before the killer electrocuted him.
    Ashtiani's 22-year-old son, Sajad Ghaderzadeh, played the part of her husband in the broadcast. Human rights campaigners described it as a forced confession aimed at collecting new evidence against her and distracting world attention from Iran's embarrassment over the case.
    Press TV is Iran's English-language state television station and has its main overseas office in London, where many of its programmes are made. People in Iran do not have access to the channel. Opponents of the Iranian regime believe the channel is used for propaganda purposes.


    In response to a complaint made by the Iranian human rights campaigner Fazel Hawramy, who asked whether it was ethical for Press TV to make the imprisoned son play his murdered father, Ofcom said in a letter, seen by the Guardian, that the broadcaster had not breached its code.
    "Given the broadcaster's assurances that both Sakineh Ashtiani and her son willingly participated in this programme, we considered that the context was not materially misleading so as to cause harm and offence," Adam Baxter, standards executive of the media regulator, wrote to Hawramy.
    Ofcom went on to say: "Given the high public salience of the case of Sakineh Ashtiani in Iran, and across the world generally, we considered that it was unsurprising for this matter to be discussed on a serious analysis programme such as this, which focused on Iranian-related matters."
    The regulator admitted it was "unusual for a prisoner facing an allegation of murder to take part in a reconstruction of their alleged crime", but ruled: "It is an editorial matter for broadcasters as to what issues and content they cover in their services, and how they cover them, as long as they comply with the code."
    Ofcom added: "The fact that both [Mohammadi Ashtiani and her son] did not appear to be in any obvious distress in their appearances on screen" was another factor it had considered in reaching its decision that "the content, though potentially offensive to some, could be justified by the context".
    Ghaderzadeh had been arrested by Iranian authorities before the programme after he spoke to foreign media in support of his mother.


    Hawramy, who writes for a human rights forum called Kurdishblogger, said: "It is disappointing for me to see that Ofcom has based its conclusions on the assurances Press TV's editors have given to them. How come Press TV has access to Ms Ashtiani while she, herself, has been denied access to her lawyer? And while one of her lawyers was forced to flee Iran and the other one remains in jail? Why is it that independent journalists were not allowed to access her unrestrictedly while Iran's state journalists were given permission to?"


    Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, an Iranian human rights activist based in Norway who is also a spokesman for the NGO Iran Human Rights, said: "I was simply shocked by reading Ofcom's response. One would expect that Ofcom has sufficient knowledge of Iran's history of using televised confessions, and the fact that Iran is one of the world's biggest jailers of journalists. Iranian authorities claim that prisoners appear 'willingly' on the TV and confess against themselves but very often these confessions have been used as new evidence for the death sentences the prisoners have been given afterwards."


    According to Ofcom's letter, Press TV has responded to the regulator and has said: "The complaints are based on the complainants' assumptions that Ms Ashtiani and her son were forced to appear in the programme and the reconstruction scene. Being that this assumption is false, there is no validity to the complaints. Press TV did not 'make' or 'force' Ms Ashtiani and her son to do anything they were uncomfortable with. Both participated willingly, and gave no indication that they felt humiliation, distress or violation of their human dignity at any time prior to, during, or subsequent to the filming and broadcast of the programme."
    Ofcom said it had received three complaints over Press TV's programme involving Ashtiani.


    According to Amnesty International, Ashtiani was sentenced to death by stoning for "adultery while married" but was also given a 10-year prison term in 2006 for the murder of her husband, which her lawyer said later was subsequently reduced to five years for "complicity" in the crime.
    Last October her son and her lawyer, Houtan Kian, were arrested, with two German journalists who were detained after trying to interview her family. The journalists were released after a few months. Sakineh Ashtiani's stoning sentence was suspended last year, but she and her lawyer remain in jail.

    Woman sentenced to death by stoning confesses 'sin of adultery' to Iran TV

    Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani also blamed activist Mina Ahadi for spreading story around world

    • Iranian state TV broadcast a statement last night by the woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, in which she described herself as a "sinner".


      Appearing on TV for the third time since her case caught the world's attention, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43, also accused Mina Ahadi, an activist of the German-based International Committee Against Stoning (Icas), of spreading her story around the world.
      The report also broadcast purported statements by two men whose faces were blurred. State TV identified them as Ashtiani's son, Sajjad Qaderzadeh, 22, and her lawyer, Houtan Kian, both of whom were arrested last month.
      Ahadi has highlighted Mohammadi Ashtiani's case through the committee and has been successful in bringing it to the world's attention.



      The broadcast, on Iran 's Channel 2, portrayed Ahadi as "a communist dissident exiled in Germany", who had taken advantage of Mohammadi Ashtiani's case for her own benefit.
      Two German journalists arrested on 10 October also "confessed" during the broadcast that they had received orders from Ahadi.
      During the programme, Mohammadi Ashtiani reiterated her previous televised "confessions" that she was involved in the murder of her husband. "I am a sinner," she said.
      Her face was blurred and the interview, conducted in her native Azeri language, was subtitled in Farsi. Previously, Iranian officials have tried to distract attention from the sentence of stoning by portraying Mohammadi Ashtiani as a murderer and not mentioning the charge of adultery over which she has been imprisoned since 2006.


      The programme said that Mohammadi Ashtiani's case was promoted around the world by her lawyers, Mohammad Mostafaei, and later Kian, because "they were looking for excuses to claim asylum in western countries". Mostafaei, Mohammadi Ashtiani's first lawyer, was arrested and subsequently forced to leave Iran after giving interviews to foreign press including the Guardian. He is now in Norway.


      Kian, a government appointed lawyer for Mohammadi Ashtiani, began to represent her after Mostafaei, but contrary to the government's will, became outspoken and defended her.
      Kian, who has been jailed since October, claimed that Mohammadi Ashtiani was beaten and tortured before appearing on TV for the first time.
      Qaderzadeh, a bus conductor in Tabriz, said in the programme: "He [Kian] told me to say she [Mohammadi Ashtiani] was tortured … Unfortunately, I listened to him and told lies to the foreign media.
      In response to his remarks, Kian said in the programme: "Telling lies to foreign media was my recommendation to Sajjad."
      Ahadi told the Guardian last night: "They are not just attacking me, they are attacking our committee and everybody who successfully brought her case to the world's attention and, at least for now, managed to stop Iran form stoning her. If it wasn't for the world's attention, Sakineh would have been executed by now, that is what's making them angry."
      She added: "I can't understand what they mean by 'the normal procedure?' Is stoning someone to death a normal procedure in their opinion?



      Sajjad knew he might be forced to confess on TV by defending his mother but nothing stopped him until he was arrested, I'm not surprised at all to hear these confessions from him and I can imagine how much all of these people were tortured to do so."


      The two German journalists who appeared on the programme, who were not identified, admitted to their "illegal acts". One of them said: "Mina Ahadi sent me to Iran because she knew she would benefit from my arrest and I'll sue her when I get back to Germany."
      Iran's English language TV channel, Press TV, reported on Monday that according to Iran's East Azerbaijan Prosecutor Malek Ajdar Sharifi "the behaviour of the Germans showed they entered Iran as spies and tried to create negative atmosphere against Iran and the East Azerbaijan judiciary."


      Iran has repeatedly said that it is yet undecided over Mohammadi Ashtiani and that her case is still under review.
