Girl, 13, stoned to death in Somalia

Posted: 05:19 PM ET

(CNN) — A 13-year-old girl accused of adultery was stoned to death last month in a soccer stadium in Somalia, witnesses told CNN.

The killing occurred October 27 after the girl, Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, told officials of al-Shabab, a radical Islamic group that controls the port city of Kismayo 500 km (300 miles) south of Mogadishu, that she had been raped by three men, said Amnesty International, citing sources.

The human rights organization said 50 men participated in stoning the girl, who had been placed in a hole in the ground, as about 1,000 people watched.

“It was absolutely appalling to be there, the girl was screaming and begging for mercy as she was being dragged to her killing hole,” said a Kismayo resident who did not want to be identified out of fear for his safety.

None of the men accused of rape were arrested, Amnesty International said.

Well doing that would remove the girl of any wrongdoing and make her murder 'unjustified'. :\

It's horrible but not surprising. I wonder though if she was married, because they called it adultery.

I'm guessing that it's because women are inferior to men and possibly not even considered human :\

I guess commiting adultery is worst than raping someone...

Well for starters...Human Life doesn't hold the same value as most other places...

Guessing by their logic (and hearing similar stories), because the girl's existence made the men lust, then it is considered her fault. Not only should the men that raped her be stoned to death, the people that stoned the girl should have the same done to them. :ranting:

What is wrong with people these days... *shakes head*

i think you are right, it is always the fault of the woman if this happens. what a terrible situation.
