Amina and her Baby

Sentenced to be Stoned to Death!

This type treatment to women happens in many countries and must be stopped. On the 25 Sept 2003 Amina Lawal, the Nigerian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, WON her appeal. After battling against her sentence for 18 months, Amina won on the grounds that she was not given enough chance to defend herself. ______________________ You probably saw this story on Television and Radio News programs Worlwide. The story about a Nigerian woman sentenced to death for having a child out of wedlock. Her name is Amina Lawal and she was thirty years old at the time. She has a young daughter. Once her child was weaned, Amina faced punishment by stoning. Amina would have been buried up to her neck. Then her punishers would have surrounded her and thrown rocks at her head until her skull was crushed. Amina would have died an excruciating, painful and horrible death. The Elegant Web Design Team and The Red Rose Girls send our heart-felt thanks to one and all who sent emails etc protesting against Amina's Death sentance. There were millions sent Worldwide in support of saving Amina.

Thank You
