Death Sentence in Nigeria

[oe]

The Nigerian Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence for Amina Lawal. Please sign the petition.

The Nigerian Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence for Amina Lawal, condemned for the crime of adultery on August 19th 2002, to be buried up to her neck and stoned to death. Her death was postponed so that she could continue to nurse her baby. Hearing on her Execution is now set for 27 AUGUST 2003.

If you haven't been following this case, you might like to know that Amina's baby is regarded as the 'evidence' of her adultery. Amina's case is being handled by the Spanish branch of Amnesty International, which is attempting to put together enough signatures to make the Nigerian government rescind the death sentence. A similar campaign saved another Nigerian woman, Safiya, condemned in similar circumstances. By March 4th the petition had amassed over 2,600,000 signatures. It will only take you a few seconds to sign Amnesty's online petition. Please sign the petition now, then copy this message into a new email and send it to everyone in your address book.

what a fucking horrible thing to do, bury her up to the neck and stone her to death. who the hell thinks of things like this??!?

: Amina confessed to having had a child while divorced. Pregnancy outside
: of marriage constitutes sufficient evidence for a woman to be convicted of
: adultery according to the new Shari'ah-based penal code for Muslims,
: introduced in Katsina state.

First of all she didn't cheat on any man, wtf is this??

: The man named as the father of her baby girl reportedly
: denied having sex with her and his statement was enough
: for the charges against him to be discontinued.

oh, this is fair.

one fucking sick "justice" system they have there..............

i take advantage of the topic ( thx omar for the info btw ) to lead you to another link.
It's about Ingrid Betancourt, definitely a proper woman deserving your attention.
She's been now abducted since 1 year and a half because she was the only one fighting against corruption in Colombia, she's now paying the tough price for her conviction. Dunno if signing the petition will lead anywhere but it's important for people just to KNOW, and spread the word around if possible. cheers!
