How should we know? As far as I can tell she wasn't allowed any defense in court. Maybe she's guilty maybe not. We will never know. But execution is always wrong regardless.
Amnesty International does not have worldwide credibility by making up fake cases.
Now again, you are stupidly focused on this one case and one women. The fact is the few Imams who hold the entire population hostage, regardless of your wishes or my wishes have laws on the books that condone putting rape victims to death. Morocco doesn't execute rape victims, but just a couple years ago a rape victim there committed suicide rather than marry her rapist, which is a law in Morocco.
That law alone alone is enough to question the neutrality of the court and her ability to have a fair trial.
No different than when Christians once had laws justifying slavery and separate schools even after slavery ended. Blacks were very often wrongly lynched and even if not executed juries and courts were often stacked with Christians to insure a conviction. So unless you are claiming Iran is a secular country and not a theocracy I think you better re think how "neutral" their government and laws are. If oppression can happen in a more open country like America certainly it can happen at a higher rate in a theocracy.
