It wasn't recalled. It was only postponed until her baby was weaned.

AChimp Being stoned isn't so bad. Afterall, she could have said "Jehovah."

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.

FS 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.

Sethomas 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.

AChimp 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...

ranxer noprob, but yes i have many questions about online petitions. are they worth anything? i hope so, but its so easy to filter out stuff from a dotcom. i really hope that people signing on don't feel they've done enough to support a cause.

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...
