Pardon Safiya Husseini Tungar-Tudu

To:  Leaders of Nigeria

To President Olusegun Obasanjo and Leaders of Nigeria,

We urge you to pardon Safiya Husseini Tungar-Tudu, who has been sentenced to death by stoning for bearing a child without being married.

This extreme violation of human rights is being noted by many thousands of citizens around the world and their governments. Agencies such as Amnesty International have been alerted about this situation. We are also aware that the father of this child has been absolved and remains unpunished.

We implore you to stop this sentence against Safiya Husseini Tungar-Tudu. We ask you to pardon her now.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
