I just got this announcement at work, and was appalled. Please sign the letter
and pass it along.
> >As many of you may have heard, a Nigerian woman was recently sentenced to
> >death- for having a child out of wedlock. Amina Lawal has been sentenced
> to death by STONING- she is to buried up to her neck in the ground, after
> which her punishers will surround her and throw rocks at her head until her
> skull is crushed and she dies a painful and horrible death.
> >I'm sure you all feel equal shock and disgust at this sentence, and she has
only thirty days to appeal her trial. Please go to the Amnesty International
site http://www.mertonai.org/amina/ and sign the letter addressed to the
President of Nigeria. It literally takes only a minute, and could help to save
her life, as well as help put an end to this kind of cruel and disgraceful
judgement in a country that calls itself a democracy. Please copy and forward
this letter to others in your address book as well.
