Amina Lawal to be buried up to her neck and stoned to death

October 29, 2002

Oprah show covered a story of a Nigerian woman, Amina Lawal

Last Friday, the Oprah show covered a story of a Nigerian woman,

Amina Lawal, who has been sentenced to death by stoning because she

had a baby out of wedlock. She has tried to appeal the decision but

has been unsuccessful, thusfar. The head of Nigeria disagrees with

these stonings but has so far done nothing--partly because of the

fear of not being re-elected. I should also note that the father of

the baby denied fathering the child and, hence, has escaped any form

of punishment.

Amina Lawal's stoning will occur as soon as she is finished nursing

her child. She will be buried up to her neck in dirt and townsmen

will throw stones at her head until they kill her--which has been

known to take hours. I send out a plea to all the women receiving

this e-mail and to all the men raised by women to join me and many

others to help prevent this horrific and inhumane event from occuring.

All you have to do is visit the Oprah website:

http://www.oprah.com/joint/oprah/aminahtml.jhtml click on the Amina

Lawal pop up screen (on the right side of your screen) or search

using Amina's name and you will see a pre-written letter addressed

to the Nigerian Ambassador. Just fill out your information on the

bottom of the page and send it. It's as simple as that. You can even

go one step further and forward this e-mail to your friends so they

can be part of the mission to save Amina Lawal.

It's your chance to save one woman's life. We can claim ignorance

when doing nothing to stop vicious atrocities that we know nothing

about from occuring but there is no justification if we standby and

allow for these events to take place when we are fully aware of them.

Thank you very much for reading this....now the ball is in your court.

I just signed up for this group yesterday. I read:

" This group is for all people who want to find the

best ways to get well and stay well.

Geared to alternative therapy modes, especially

vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, oils, foods,

and other natural healing substances.

Some call it natural medicine, orthomolecular

medicine, holistic medicine, or alternative medicine.

Come and trade health information and support in a non

commercial setting of mutual respect and caring.

No discuss of religion or politics.

And, please NO commercial postings, spam, or MLM. "

I believe the following email violates policy of this

group. It is not that I don't care, I do - but if

everyone starts emailing all the atrocities on this

planet you better change the name of the group out of

mutual respect.

I'd have to say this has everything to do with " any " group having to do with

" getting well. " The basic premise of health is having life from which it can

evolve. If she's killed she will have no " ...best way to get well or stay

well. " Changing barbaric carryover attitudes from the dark and middle ages just

might have alot to do with this woman's best way of staying well. Attitude

therapy is as important a part of a healing therapy mode as are any carbon

molecules of nutritional value.
