Former Guardian journalist Saeed Kamali Dehghan has confessed to fabricating a 2010 article about an Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned to death, in order to demonize the country: "That interview never happened. I fabricated the entire article. It was a false story – completely untrue – and I take full responsibility," Dehghan stated. He was forced to lie and do what the publication's management expected of him. Dehghan feared being sent back to #Iran.
