(CNN) -- A woman convicted of murder and adultery and sentenced to die by stoning said Saturday she would sue the two German journalists who interviewed her son, Iran's government-backed Press TV reported.
The men, identified only as a reporter and photojournalist, were arrested in October after they interviewed the son and lawyer of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who was convicted of adultery in 2006 and sentenced to death by stoning.
Her case has drawn sharp criticism from the international community. No date has been set for her execution.
Ashtiani told reporters in the northwestern city of Tabriz that she planned to sue the German nationals, Press TV reported. The men, who work for the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, are charged with espionage and are accused of working illegally as journalists in Iran.
Germany-based anti-stoning activist Mina Ahadi said that government and prison officials were also at the press conference.
"This regime has a history of pressuring innocent people into confessing on television. This is just another example of their propaganda," she said. CNN
