mburbank | Thanks, folks. I have no illusions about on line petitions, but at least it's something. More than anything else, this spreads the word. | |

Shit. I thought this verdict had already been recalled. I've signed, but are there other Amnesty actions that might be more effective? Even if just a real signature instead of an online one? edit: I think I read something a while back about countries suggesting to provide asylum to the woman, but I can't find anything on it right now. |

Done. But if the next person commits adultery just because my name is on the list endorsing such acts, I'll personally smash her head with a rock. ![]() |

Aight, I'll sign it, but how the hell is this going to prevent Nigeria from doing what it wants? "Oh no! A bunch of people who don't live in Nigeria don't like our laws!" ![]() Maybe we should've just petitioned Saddam... ![]() |

Nigerian woman sentenced to be stoned to death: Please read Please read this, please concider signing the petition, please concider passing this on. Hearing on AMINA LAWAL SET TO BE STONED ON - 27 AUGUST 2003 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. Go to the web page http://www.amnesty.org.au/e-card/petition.asp Thanks for reading this. Please take the time to sign the petition... _ |
