Subject: Amina Lawal's sentence to death by stoning

>Dear All,
>Many of you may already have received this but if not please read it and
>sign the Amnesty petition.
>As the death sentence on Amina Lawal is so appalling I am taking the
>liberty of sending this to everyone in my address book, including work
>contacts. I would not normally do this. If you do not want to receive such
>messages in future, please let me know and I will ensure you do not receive
>them.
>
>In the minute or two I was on line signing the petition and reading some
>other information, the number of signatures went up from 4,627,496 to
>4,627,523. Go on--see if you can be the one who takes it to 5 million!
>Thank you for your attention,
>Sandy Adirondack
>***************************
>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 and is
>now set for June 3rd. If you haven't been following this case, you might
>like to know that Amina's baby is regarded as the 'evidence' of her
>adultery. The father denied everything when he realised the trouble he was
>in.
>
>This 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. It will only
>take you a few seconds to sign Amnesty's online petition. Go to the web
>page

>if you are not in the UK. Then click on 'Seguir' and go to the second page.
>There you have the option of entering your email address if you wish to
