Maryam Rustamoor (27) and Marzieh Amirizadeh (30) are both facing the death penalty at the hands of Iran's Revolutionary Court. Arrested in April 2009 their crime is: they became Christians. Under Sharia Law (and let's not duck it - the Koran itself makes this perfectly clear too) that the penalty for apostasy from from Islam to any other faith is death.

Here's a touching courtroom exchange from August 9 (taken from this):

Mr. Haddad, asked the two women if they were Christians. “We love Jesus,” they replied. He repeated his question and they said, “Yes, we are Christians.”

Mr. Haddad then said, “You were Muslims and now you have become Christians.”

“We were born in Muslim families, but we were not Muslims,” was their reply.

Mr. Haddad’s questioning continued and he asked them if they regretted becoming Christians, to which they replied, “We have no regrets.”

Then he stated emphatically, “You should renounce your faith verbally and in written form.” They stood firm and replied, “We will not deny our faith.”

During one tense moment in the questioning, Maryam and Marzieh made reference to their belief that God had convicted them through the Holy Spirit. Mr. Haddad told them, “It is impossible for God to speak with humans.”

Marzieh asked him in return, “Are you questioning whether God is Almighty?”

Mr. Haddad then replied, “You are not worthy for God to speak to you.”

Marzieh said, “It is God, and not you, who determines if I am worthy.”

If you are a practising Christian reading this you are asked to pray, if not don't bother as God won't hear you anyway (God does not hear those who do not practice the Christian faith, see John 9:31).

Remember when President Ahmadinejad lecture the recent UN-sponsored Durban Conference On human rights? What this incident shows is the values of true Islam and Sharia Law in action. And we should be realistic about issues like allowing Sharia Law in our own countries. The nutjob Ayatollahs and their revolutionary bunch of thugs - indeed all who hold to Sharia Law and Mohammed's teachings on this point of murdering 'Muslim' apostates (these girls claim they were never Muslim believers, remember) - need to apply to re-join the human race.

Here's the already prescribed verdict: they wouldn't get in.
