Subject: Amina Lawal
If there is one email you send on this year....make it this one! If you think actions like this can't make a difference - think about the effect doing nothing has.
You have probably heard about Amina Lawal, the Nigerian woman
convicted of adultery and having a child outside marriage, who has
been sentenced to death by stoning by the court.
It is particularly shocking that the judge has decided that she should
be stoned to death as soon as her eight month old daughter is weaned -
what a tragedy for her and for her baby.
Amnesty International has organized a petition which you can sign
online and which will be forwarded to the President of Nigeria - you
can sign it by clicking here:
http://www.mertonai.org/amina/
I hope that you will sign it, and pass this on to other people - it
seems the least we can do.

Thank you for sharing this Soror NinjaPoodle! I have signed and passed this on!

This is an issue we really need to rally around as a community.
