A 29 year old woman was stoned to death on the 17th November after being convicted of adultery by an Islamic court in the Al-Shabab controlled village of El-Bon 45km west of Wajid district in Bakool region.
The village judge Sheikh Ibrahim Sheikh Abdurrahman verified that the woman pledged that she was guilty of committing adultery.
“This lady who admitted she is guilty of going into illegal sex with a certain boy and after we have viewed seriously followed the case we came to realize that the lady was previously married and separated with her husband, while the boy has never married, so hence according to the Islamic religious law if a person who has legally married go for adultery or fornication he or she is supposed to be stoned to death and in this case Halima has become liable while the boy has received 100 whips” said Sheikh Ibrahim.
