EXECUTION BY STONING OF AISHA IBRAHIM DUHULOW IN SOMALIA

Tabled by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat) 42 signatures

The motion

That this House expresses grave concern following the unlawful stoning of Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow in Somalia; unequivocally condemns the inaction to defend her from bogus accusations of adultery; sees no justice under international human rights law, Sharia law or any other Somali law, in the sentence of stoning passed to this 13 year old girl; deplores the state of human rights affairs in Somalia with the lives of human rights activists and journalists being threatened on a daily basis; and calls on the Government to use every diplomatic measure at its disposal to prevent any future repeats of this terrible incident.
