A 13-year-old Somalian girl was raped by three men and then stoned to death by dozens of Islamic militants, as punishment for committing “adultery.”
Hundreds of people watched, as Aisha Duhulow was placed in a hole up to her neck for the execution. Stones were hurled at her head, and she was brought out of the hole three times to see if she was dead yet.
“This child suffered a horrendous death at the behest of the armed opposition groups who currently control Kismayo,” David Copeman, Amnesty International’s Somalia campaigner, said in a statement Friday.
Islamist leaders at the execution said the girl (who was erroneously reported to be 23) had breached Islamic law.
