Public Stoning in Somalia On the twenty-sixth day of October 2008, the scene was set for the public stoning of 13-year-old Aisha Ibrahim Dhuhulow. An Islamic motorcade wound its way through the Somalia port city of Kismayo announcing her execution the following day. A sharia court had convicted her of sex outside of marriage, because she had been raped by three armed men. She was accused of this offense when she reported the rape. The three men who raped her were not arrested. In a Kismayo sports stadium on Monday the twenty-seventh of October, Aisha, struggling, screaming and begging for mercy, was bound hand and foot and buried to her neck. Then, before a jubilant crowd of about a thousand spectators, fifty men pelted her with stones. At one point, she was dug up to be checked for signs of life. Found to be alive, she was reburied, and the stoning continued until her death. When a relative ran toward Aisha, an Islamic militiaman fired a shot, which killed a boy who was standing by. Press was allowed. The events were widely reported. This account is based on those reports, readily available on Google. I have not repeated some claims that I deem not to be credible. About two years ago, some American academics rejoiced that Islamic fundamentalists had taken over much of Somalia and set up sharia courts, because, it was said, they would bring peace to the land. They certainly brought peace to Aisha. Albert W. L. Moore, Jr. Editor's Note. Click below for Amnesty
