AMNINA LAWAL SET TO BE STONED TO DEATH 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 (which is regarded as the 'evidence' of 
her
adultery). Execution is now set for June 3rd. 
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.
