Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning

Agencies

Tehran: An Iranian woman has been sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, local media reported on Saturday.
The woman, named only as Soghra, was found guilty of having an affair with her husband's friend, the Etemad daily reported on Saturday.

She was also given a separate 15-year jail sentence for helping her lover kill her husband.

Officials say no woman has been executed by stoning for several years and that stoning sentences are routinely changed to other forms of execution, such as hanging, or lighter sentences

The above was from gulfnews.com article 187l06.
My input in the Torah it says specifically about the stonig to death for adultery, in this day and age I do not find Jews stoning other Jews for adultery
