'An Iranian woman who was sentenced to death by stoning after being found guilty of adultery and helping kill her husband, will be executed on Wednesday, according to a statement by a group that opposes stoning in Iran.
"The Islamic regime of Iran plans to execute Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani immediately," said a statement on the International Committee Against Stoning (ICAS).
The group didn't give details on the method that will use to execute Ashtiani, but following an international campaign , Iran in July said a stoning sentence had been suspended.
Ashtiani was convicted of adultery in 2006 and according to human rights activists forced to confess after being subjected to 99 lashes. She later recanted that confession and has denied wrongdoing.
Ashtiani's son and lawyer have been arrested and tortured by Iranian authorities, ICAS has said.'
Is it too late to hope that the protests of the civilized West are heard. Is it also too late to wonder where the United Nations are on this, or do they only protest if Israel are 'at fault'?

No, they protest whether Israel is at fault or not.
