Iran paper slurs Sarkozy's wife over stoning

Model Carla Bruni (right) has been branded a 'marriage-breaking prostitute' by Iran's premier newspaper Kayhan (left). France's First Lady has backed a campaign to save Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two who faced stoning to death for adultery. She is accused of cheating on her husband and then helping to kill him and, despite a world outcry, she still faces the death penalty. Subsequently, the Iranian government is said to have issued an advisory to media to refrain from such insults to foreign persons.
