Dear colleagues,

can you please take a moment to sign the petition for a young woman, mother
of three who has been sentenced to death by stoning for having a child out
of wedlock. She lives in Nigeria. Amnesty international is on the case. I
urge you all to contact the Nigerian embassy in Australia. The following
links will tell you all about the situation.  The last woman we all
supported escaped death and was lashed.  I would encourage all of you to
join Amnesty International, this organisation does amazing, wonderful work.
I feel sick thinking about what this woman and others are having to deal
with.
