Two Women Sentenced to Death by Stoning in Nigeria
 

BAUCHI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Islamic courts in Nigeria sentenced two women to death by stoning for having sex out of wedlock, but two men whom they said they slept with were acquitted for lack of evidence, authorities said on Tuesday.

Both sentences, which were passed within the last month in the northern state of Bauchi, have to be confirmed by the state governor before being carried out, and they are open to appeal.

Oh sheit. Not good. That would suck to be stoned to death. :(

very sad when the justice system works for one but the other, then again - other countries where women can get away with putting anyone in jail just because they dont like them...

ugh...
that has to be the ultimate punishment

Remember the Miss World Pageant?

what a bunch of sluts.

Another reason I'm PROUD to be an American!

that kind of shit still goes on......I guess they are muslim, if i insult it, im probably racist :1orglaugh

That's just wrong! Still living in the stone age....:feels-hot

oh the pun!

Damn! that sucks, thats some torture right there. They should do that to those who commit real crimes, like murder.

To them, having sex out of wedlock is a real crime.

yeah but so's stealing an apple.......

Yes, stonings happen in every country except America.

:1orglaugh

Islamic idiots again. If you steal you get your hand chopped off. That really shows the insanity of these people.

NO it doesn't! It doens't happen in any central, nor Latin American country, Canda,...nor do I think it happens in Europe, & Australia.

I think he was being sarcastic.

You think correctly.

No, why?

They stone and use thieves to keep fires alight in bar beach, victoria island, lagos. Nothing new here.

They were probably reading the GFY post about the three strike rule the other day and thinking "thank fuck Im Nigerian" :Graucho

Thank god some gov't is taking a stand even when its unpopular to do something about this rampant problem.
