Thread Name: Nigerian Woman to be murdered - now acquitted
Subject: RE: Urgent, Nigerian Woman to be murdered
Good news for her but no good news in general: She is free due to a detail which had nothing to do with the main question. The Islamic law had been introduced after she had committed her 'crime'. Therefore she won the appeal but the court did not judge at all whether the punishment as such was right or wrong. The very same day she left a free woman another woman has been sentenced to be stoned to death for the same 'crime' and she has committed her 'crime' after the introduction of the Islamic law.
