Taliban back in power edit

Now that the Taliban is back in power in Afghanistan, do we need to update the section on Afghanistan? I don't know enough about it to answer my question. 71.220.162.188 (talk) 16:43, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Practical info? Physiology? Logistics? edit

This article is really quite long, yet there's almost no practical information about what on earth stoning actually is. Anyone coming here will leave with no better conception of what this practice looked like. How big were the rocks? How many people participated on average? How many rocks were thrown? How long did it take to die? How long did it take to lose consciousness? Are there any theories for how the practice evolved? Why it was so popular in the ANE when so many other methods of execution were available? Surely there are sources concerning these questions and many many more. Instead of arguing about demographics, culture, race, and politics... can we put some effort into actually explaining what stoning is, how it happened, and why?

United Arab Emirates edit

There is no proof that homosexuality carries death by stoning in the UAE. Before 2020, stoning was the default method of execution for adultery, and several people were sentenced to death by stoning (for adultery). According to UAE law, the actual punishment for homosexuality is up to 14 years prison (up to 10 years prison in Dubai). The UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, never mentioned the death penalty for homosexuality. 91.72.194.58 (talk) 14:42, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Map also needs updating. Stoning is no longer legal in the UAE. 91.72.194.58 (talk) 14:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 3 February 2024 edit

UAE does not mention death sentence by stoning for being gay. Please change it to say “Before 2020, stoning was described as the default method of execution for adultery, and several people were sentenced to death by stoning.” Remove all the citations involving lgbtq+ because they are misleading and potentially false.
