We would like to bring to your attention the case of a 35 year-old Nigerian woman, Safiya Hussani, sentenced to death by stoning for having a child outside marriage. The sentence will be revised within six days, and all human rights organisations are trying to put the maximum pressure on the Nigerian government to stop the sentence. The organisations have opened up websites in English, French and Spanish to collect signatures for a petition addressed to the President of Nigeria to pardon Ms Hussani. Please visit any of these sites to sign the letter.
