TEHRAN, May 21 (AFP) - A woman convicted of acting in pronographic films has
been stoned to death in the prison where she has been held for the last
eight years, a newspaper reported Monday.
The unnamed 35-year-old was buried in a pit and pelted with stones until she
died in the centre of Tehran's Evin prison, the Entekhab paper said, adding
that she had been tracked down after an intensive police search.
It said investigators only succeeded in finding her after they noticed the
serial number of an electricity meter that was in the background of a scene
in one of her films.
She denied being the woman on screen but police found several witnesses who
testified she was indeed the X-rated actress.
