Help Prevent Amina Lawal Kumari's Stoning Sentence
An Islamic court in Nigeria rejected an appeal from a single mother, Amina Lawal Kumari, who was sentenced to death by stoning. She was found guilty of adultery last March after giving birth to a child outside of marriage. The courts have decreed that as soon as her child is weaned, the sentence is to be carried out. Please urge Nigerian officials to prevent the courts from killing her.

while i do think we should try to save amina, i was chosen to debate the reasons why the united states should just stay out of it and other cases of extreme injustices like it. i'm having a very hard time finding information to support my arguement, so could someone please help me out?

A friend of mine told me that she was already executed, so that shows how difficult it is even to obtain correct information. I wrote to congress, but I want to do more. Does anyone have any suggestions? That is, if the death sentence wasn't already carried out.
WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT AMINA LAWAL I WAS HURT BECUASE SHE IS GOING TO BE KILLED BECAUSE SHE HAD A BABY WITHOUT BEING MARRIED.IT IS NOT RIGHT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO HER.

We can avoid this extreme atrocity with Amina Lawal and women in general and we must do it. Here's a site where you will find resources to help save her; addresses to send faxes and emailsto Nigerian authorities,banners, how to donate, a FREE software to promote this site, and more. You'll find also anti war resources here.
It’ s to hard to believe that a woman who gives life to a child would actually be senteced in death because she is not in marriage. In my country this is a crime. I know that the laws in Nigiria are different and we have to respect them but this has nothing to do with justice. I am really sorry for living these situations in our days.s
