20 Year-Old Sudanese Woman To Be Stoned To Death For Adultery
A Sudanese woman has been sentenced to death by stoning for adultery in the country’s first such case in almost a decade.
Police in Sudan’s White Nile state arrested Maryam Alsyed Tiyrab, 20, last month, before her sentencing at the Kosti Criminal Court on June 26.
Ms Tiyrab had separated from her husband and moved back to her family’s home, before she was interrogated by a police who allegedly obtained an illegal confession from her.
She is appealing against the decision, holding out hope that High Court will strike down the ruling.
Ms Tiyrab was denied legal representation, and her trial commenced without obtaining a formal complaint from the police, which human rights groups say is irregular.
Under Islamic law, Hudud crimes – enforced in Sudan – carry penalties such as the amputation of hands and feet, flogging, and in rare cases, death.
