[Peace-discuss] Urgent Action- Save Nigerian woman from death by stoning

[Ricky Baldwin]

Amina Lawal, a 30 year-old Muslim woman, was sentenced to stoning to
death by a Shari'ah court at Bakori in Katsina State in northern
Nigeria. Amina allegedly 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.
