Somalia: woman stoned to death for adultery. And the man she slept with?

A woman of 23 accused of adultery has been stoned to death by Somali Islamists. 

She was placed in a hole up to her neck for the execution in front of hundreds of people in the port of Kismayu, which Islamist insurgents captured in August. When a relative and others surged forward, guards opened fire, killing a child. 

Stones were hurled at her head, and she was brought out of the hole three times to see if she had died.

'A woman in green veil and black mask was brought in a car as we waited to watch the merciless act of stoning,' one local resident, Abdullahi Aden, told Reuters.

'We were told she submitted herself to be punished, yet we could see her screaming as she was forcefully bound, legs and hands. A relative of hers ran towards her, but the Islamists opened fire and killed a child.' More...
