Iranian state television has denied reports that Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani has been freed.
It follows the release of a number of new photos of her believed to have been taken at her home, but the English-language channel Press TV announced on its website that “contrary to a vast publicity campaign by Western media,” the photos were taken by their reporters as they filmed a reconstruction of her crime.
Convicted of murder and adultery, Ashtiani was sentenced to death by stoning, a verdict which sparked outrage around the world.
The International Committee against Stoning, based in Germany, had earlier said it had news that she was out of jail.
