Iranian Newspaper: Carla Bruni Deserves To Die
A “hardline” newspaper in Iran branded Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, a prostitute who deserved to die for expressing support for an Iranian woman on death row, according to CNN.
The prostitute reference apparently is an allusion to Bruni’s active social life before marrying President Sarkozy in 2008. Bruni is a former supermodel and considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.
The Kayhan newspaper denounced Bruni after she posted a letter on her website expressing solidarity with the woman who is scheduled to be stoned to death by the Iranian regime for committing adultery. Bruni among many others in the international community is calling for clemency for the woman.
The French Foreign Ministry said the newspaper’s comments were unacceptable, and even Iranian officials at least publicly have backed away from the state-run newspaper’s editorial. Actress Isabelle Adjani was also similarly criticized by the newspaper, according to SkyNews.
