video of the brutal murder
"Aisha Ibrahim
Duhulow"...stoned to death as
a penalty under the sharia law
in the troubled somalia in
2009. read the full story
below. ...According to news
on Wikipedia.
The stoning of Aisha Ibrahim
Duhulow was a public
execution carried out by the
Al-Shabaab militant group on
October 27, 2008 in the
southern port town of
Kismayo, Somalia. Initial
reports stated that the victim,
Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, was a
23-year-old woman found
guilty of adultery. However,
Duhulow's father and aunt
stated that she was 13 years
old, under the age of marriage
eligibility, and that she was
arrested and stoned to death
after trying to report that she
had been raped. The
execution took place in a
public stadium attended by
about 1,000 bystanders,
several of whom attempted to
intervene but were shot by the
militants.
The stoning was condemned
by several human rights
groups and was cited as being
among the first incidents in
the civil war in Somalia to be
widely reported in the
Western media. According to
Amnesty International, Al-
Shabaab had formally charged
Duhulow with adultery despite
her age, although convicting a
female that young of adultery
is considered illegal under
Islamic law.
Duhulow and her family
moved to the southern city of
Kismayo, Somalia from the
Hagardeer refugee camp in
Dadaab, Kenya in July
2008. According to one of her
teachers, Muno Mohamed
Osman, who had taught
Duhulow for a few months
and did not remember her
well, she struggled during
class and "didn't look mentally
fit[...] She was always in
trouble with students,
teachers[...] She was just a
child." Three months after her
arrival in Kismayo, Duhulow
was reportedly raped by three
armed men while travelling
on foot to visit her
grandmother in Mogadishu in
October 2008. Her aunt took
her to a police station to
report the incident to the Al-
Shabaab Islamist militia in
Kismayo, which at the time
controlled the city's court
system. They were asked to
return to the station a few
days later, having been told
that two suspects had been
apprehended. Duhulow was
subsequently arrested by the
insurgents under charges that
she had "chatted up" the men
and committed adultery. She
was then sentenced to death
by stoning. The militant
tribunal asserted that
Duhulow had come to it with
an admission of guilt, and that
she was repeatedly asked to
reconsider her confession but
that she instead insisted that
she wanted Sharia law and
the attendant punishment to
be applied. One militant,
Sheik Hayakalah, stated that
"the evidence came from her
side and she officially
confirmed her guilt[...] She
told us that she was happy
with the punishment under
Islamic law." No attempts
were made by the insurgent
group to apprehend
Duhulow's purported
attackers.
On October 27, 2008, during
the afternoon, several
militants transported
Duhulow to a public stadium
in Kismayo containing around
1,000 people. She reportedly
struggled with the insurgents
and at one point screamed,
"What do you want from me
[...] I'm not going, I'm not
going. Don't kill me." Four
militants subsequently forced
Duhulow into a dug out hole,
burying her up to the
neck. Around 50 militants
participated in the ensuing
execution, throwing rocks at
her head. According to
witnesses, nurses were then
instructed to verify whether
Duhulow was still alive. After
ten minutes, she was dug out
of the hole and two nurses
confirmed that she was still
alive, after which point
Duhulow was put back in the
hole and the stoning resumed.
Although many witnesses to
the event were too afraid of
the armed militants to
intervene, several bystanders
attempted to save her. The
insurgents responded by
opening fire on them, in the
process killing an eight-year-
old boy. An Al-Shabaab
spokesman later apologized
for the child's death, and
pledged that the shooter
would be punished.
