Just got this in an e-mail
==============================================
I have just learned that the Nigerian supreme court has upheld the death
sentence for Amina Lawal, who was condemned for the crime of adultery.
She is 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 April 7th) amassed over 4,100,000
signatures.
It will only take you a few seconds to sign Amnesty's online petition.
