Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified.
In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code.

A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks. Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation.
Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics.
