QUOTING the forwarded e-mail
Subject: Amina Lawal -- Please support this woman
Look in any search engine for reaction around the world, such as a boycott of the Miss World Contest by women and nations that disapprove of this Nigerian sentence.
You have probably heard about Amina Lawal, the Nigerian woman convicted of adultery and having a child outside marriage, and who has been sentenced to death by stoning. The appeals court has approved this sentence. The judge has decided that she should be stoned to death as soon as her 8 month old baby daughter is weaned. Amnesty International has organised a petition which you can sign on line and which will be forwarded to the President of Nigeria. You can Sign it by clicking here:
Go to the right hand side of the page and click the please sign our
letter. Please sign and pass on to other people - it seems the least we
can do for her.
UNQUOTE - I updated some of the text to help make the post a bit more readable.
