CEREHRA RAISED QUESTIONS OVER THE STONED WOMAN IN KISMAYO

The Center for Reconciliation & Human Rights Advocacy is so concerned and remorseful over the stoning death of the Somali woman in Kismayo city of Somalia.

"No one in Kismayu or elsewhere in Somalia has any right to stone any woman to death." says the official statement from the office of CEREHRA in Luuq district of Gedo region.

The father of the victim said to the VOA that she was born in 1994 which makes her only twenty four years.

CEREHRA went further in its Somali language statement distributed in leaflets and emails; and asked about the condition of the condemned poor woman; the names and titles of the "judges" that handed down the harsh verdict, and the names and occupations of the prosecuting witnesses.
