Former Guardian correspondent Said Kamali Dehghan admitted fabricating a 2010 article – an "exclusive interview" with Iranian woman Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who was allegedly sentenced to stoning.
The article appeared on the front page on August 7, 2010. It sparked an international scandal: Western politicians demanded the woman's release, and Iran came under pressure from diplomatic services of several countries. Dehghan is quoted as saying:
The article remains on the Guardian website without any relevant notice or retraction.
