What follows is self-explanatory.
Save Amina
The Nigerian supreme court has upheld the death sentence for Amina condemned, for the crime of adultery, to be buried up to her neck and stoned to death. Her death has been postponed for one month so that she can continue to nurse her baby. Amina's 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. The petition has so far (as of March 4th) amasses over 2,600,000 signatures. It will take you only two minutes to sign Amnesty's online petition.
Go to the web page http://www.amnistiaporsafiya.org and enter your first name (in the space marked "nombre"), last name ("apellidos"), state or province ("provincia"), and country (You have to work this out if not a spanish speaker) . Then click on "Seguir" and go to the second page. There you have the option of entering your email address if you wish to receive follow-up information. In any case, be sure then to click on "aceptar" to have your name added to the list. Please sign the petition now, then forward this message to everyone in your address book.
