Amina Lawal's death sentence quashed at last!
All those emails, and petitions and calls to the Nigerian embassy did it! WE did it! Today Amina, who's only "crime" was making consensual love with a man after she was divorced, learned that her horribly ass-backwards patriarchal facist government will NOT be stoning her to death after all.
This from Amesty International:
Charging and detaining women for sexual relations violates their right to free expression and association, freedom from discrimination, and the right to privacy
I saddens me that we live in a world where such a statement has to be made. Goddess help us all!
It feels soooo good to have a WIN to celebrate on this front, when so much of the worlds current leadership seems to be flying backwards toward the infamous "Burning Times" of the european middle ages, when it comes to sexual and all personal freedoms.
And there's more to be done. The so-called law under which Amina would have been stoned to death still exists, and there are other wombn who are suffering under it's very real threat. Take a stand today, help make the world a safe place for Orgasmic Living!
