Your Excellencies,

We express our deep concern over a ruling by the Court in Funtuas, Katsina state in Northern Nigeria, that sentenced Mrs. Lawal Kurami to death by stoning after finding her guilty of so-called pre-marital sex. This decision of the Islamic high court have shocked Nigeria’s growing human rights movement and people around the world. The court confirmed the barbarian judgment imposed upon the unwed mother by a Sharia court in Bakori in March 2002 on charges of adultery.

We urge you to intervene on her behalf to prevent this cruel and inhuman religious punishment from being meted out against her.

We implore you to ensure that this cruel and inhuman sentence is not carried out.

Respectfully Yours

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
