>>>I have just learned that the Nigerian supreme court has upheld the death
>>>sentence for Amina Lawal, who was condemned for the crime of adultery.
>>>
>>>She is to be buried up to her neck and stoned to death. Her death has
>>>been postponed for one month so that she can continue to nurse her baby.
>>>
>>>Amina's case is being handled by the Spanish branch of Amnesty

>>>to make the Nigerian government rescind the death sentence. (A similar
>>>campaign saved another Nigerian woman, Safiya,condemned in similar
>>>circumstances.) The petition has so far (as of April 7th) amassed
>>>over 4,100,000 signatures. It will only take you a few seconds
>>>to sign Amnesty's online petition.
