    AMINA LAWAL SET TO BE STONED ON 3RD JUNE

    "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. Execution is now set for June 3rd. 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. Go
    to the web page:

    http://www.amnesty.org.au/e-card/petition.asp

    Please sign the petition now, then copy this message into a new email and send it to everyone in your address book.


    Thanks."


    I just received this e-mail and read it to my neighbor who replied "I am shocked but have no reason to disbelieve it. . . .Who will throw the first stone?"
