His
story
Jibrin
Babaji was sentenced to death by stoning by an Islamic court in the
Nigerian state of Bauchi on September 25th 2003, the same day when
Amina Lawal was finally released. He was accused to have made sexual
abuses on payment against three under aged children. Jibrin
confessed the crime after an interrogation by local policemen whose
fairness could not be verified by anyone else. He has got 30 days to
appeal against the sentence.
The
appeal to save Jibrin
The
Community of Sant'Egidio invites everybody to share its appeal
aiming to spare Jibrin's life from a death sentence by stoning,
sending the following statement to the competent authorities of
Nigeria, as it occurred in the past, by fax or e-mail.
