SAVE AMINA
Sex between consenting adults should not be a crime, certainly not a capital offense. Please take a few moments to participate. It could mean everything to this woman and her child.






SAVE AMINA

The Nigerian supreme court has upheld the death sentence for Amina, condemned for the crime of adultery, to be buried up to her neck and stoned to death. Her death has been postponed for one month so that she can continue to nurse her baby.

Amina's case is being handled by the Spanish branch of Amnesty International, which is attempting to put together enough signatures to make the Nigerian government rescind the death sentence. A similar campaign saved another Nigerian woman, Safiya, condemned in similar circumstances.

The petition has so far (as of April 7th) amassed over
4 100 000 signatures. It will only take you a few seconds to sign Amnesty's online petition.

Go to this web page
enter your first name in the space marked "nombre", last name
("apellidos"), state("provincia"), country, and in the drop down box pick Estados unidas (USA) or whichever is appropriate. Then click on "Seguir" and go to the second page.

There you have the option of entering your email address if you wish to receive follow-up information. In any case, be sure to click on "aceptar" to have your name added to the petition list.

Please sign the petition now, then forward this message to others.

And for the record, this is a legitimate issue. see snopes

	I'm not sure how much more till it expires. I've added you to my friends list. I saw that you joined C_C - it's a great community. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am unsure what happened, but I am now moderating childfreedebate and have lifted the ban on your name. I have read many of your posts in cunt conciouse and feel that likely the ban was a personal thing. Uh, its not like the community is active anyway :P (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anaideia 2003-05-13 11:52 (link)
	Excuse me? Lifted the MY ban where??? Why in the world would I be banned from [Unknown LJ tag]? I'm completely lost. Could you please explain? The only debate community that I've ever been a member of on Blurty is debateforum - as I said I am confused. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bitterfly 2003-05-13 15:28 (link)
	umm the communitty I was reffering to is called childfreedebate. I honestly have no idea why or how your name was there. I am not trying to upset you in any way. I thought I would have been giving you good news rather than irritating and confusing you. I realy do appologize for creating chaos. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Opps that first community was cunt_conscious. Could you please explain how I was banned from there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bitterfly 2003-05-13 15:25 (link)
	I am unsure, all I know is I was reworking the settings and stuff when I took over moderation and your name was under banned users. I unbanned it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaideia 2003-05-13 11:56 (link)
	How in the world did the communities cunt_conscious and feministas become members of your community? Did you add them yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bitterfly 2003-05-13 15:19 (link)
	umm I never intenitionaly added them, I added them to the freinds list, and they seem to have became memebers as a result, I will fix that A.S.A.P, sorry about that.... Absolutely not intentional. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaideia 2003-05-13 16:26 (link)
	LOL Sorry no big deal. I was just a little confused that's all. I have no clue why I would be banned from the community you mentioned nor why the two communities were members of said community. Were you the founder of childfree? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bitterfly 2003-05-14 14:11 (link)
	No, the intitail maintainer has left Blurty, I have just taken over childfree debate, the person who has taken over childfree has seemingly evaporated. I'm actually trying to find him, as these communities are both communities which I care about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anaideia 2003-05-14 17:56 (link)
	I wonder if it's the same person that some of my friends got into it with from politicaldebate. Though why he would ban me I have no idea. I've never been there or this other debate comm. Oh well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bitterfly 2003-05-15 01:21 (link)
	yep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry for posting this on your personal journal, but how can I join cunt conscious? Again, my apologies. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This issue was very hot during my sexuality class when I really became involved in any sexuality/women/feminist type of rights...now I am going to grad school for sexuality and gender- I wanted to be added to Cunt Conscious but not sure how to go about it. Also, I signed the position and will be passing it along to some faculty in my university. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Re: I signed vagina_friendly 2003-10-27 13:44 (link)

These are issues that used to be discussed in the cunt conscious forum,...and now all that is ever discussed is virginity, sex, etc. Isn't there a community about sex and stuff somewhere else?? I miss the Cunt Conscious that I joined. I joined it because it wasnt about typical stuff,...now,...well...I am kind of disappointed. Oh well. May I add you to my friends list?
