Save Amouna Abdallah Daldoum and Sadia Idries Fadul from Death by Stoning

The International organization Against Torture has recently disseminated news from Sudan that two Darfurian women

Ms. Amouna Abdallah Daldoum (23 years old)
and
Ms. Sadia Idries Fadul (22 years old from Tama tribe, Darfur)

have been convicted of adultery under s.146 of Sudan penal Code 1990 ,and sentenced to death by stoning(before Al-azazi Court/Managil Province /Gazera State) ,
while the accused man has been acquitted.
In this critical time when the atrocities of mass rape and sexual violence against women have been painfully used as a war weapon in Darfur conflict. Sudan justice system witnesses reluctance or even failure to effectively adjudicate and punish the perpetrators and adequately redress the victims .Thus, such convictions and cruel sentencing raise a serious question of impartiality.

We, the undersigned, urge you to call upon Sudan Government to abolish such major punishments and to affect legal and institutional reform to remove gender-based discrimination in laws and practices.

Sincerely,

    Petition: Save Darfur women from Death by Stoning
    THE STONING OF WOMEN

    There are those who still stone women
    And we all know who they are.
    They live in a world cursed by God
    Where they murder mislead and scar.

    They need no proof to denounce their wives
    Of adultery, betrayal and worthlessness.
    They hate all religions except their own
    As they promote fear, death and hopelessness.

    Never turn a blind eye toward wickedness
    Instead support its defeat and demise.
    Hearts consumed by the shadows of malice
    Are terrified of the righteous and the wise.

    The stoning of women is a performance from hell
    And any country that allows it, will fail.
    All men heed to the whispers of their soul
    May goodness, and compassion take heed and prevail.
