Quote:MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- A 13-year-old girl who said she had been raped was stoned to death in Somalia after being accused of adultery by Islamic militants, a human rights group said.
Dozens of men stoned Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow to death Oct. 27 in a stadium packed with 1,000 spectators in the southern port city of Kismayo, Amnesty International and Somali media reported, citing witnesses. The Islamic militia in charge of Kismayo had accused her of adultery after she reported that three men had raped her, the rights group said.
Initial local media reports said Duhulow was 23, but her father told Amnesty International she was 13. Some of the Somali journalists who first reported the killing later told Amnesty International that they had reported she was 23 based upon her physical appearance.
Calls to Somali government officials and the local administration in Kismayo rang unanswered Saturday
Utterly barbaric.
How could any human do this?? To anyone? There's no difference if she was 46 or 13, its still against everything basic human belief.
Very sad and shocking.
Awful.
This is pure evil.
Agree with the above.. Nobody with any respect for life could do this.
And what's with the 1000 people spectating? were they forced there? Or did they actually enjoy it??

Very sad and shocking as well ,
That's what God said it will happen
so there is no doubt i or you may die in such situation .
So lets be patient.
So sad to hear this.
That country really is lawless though. Somalia is a country torn into bits and pieces by tribes and gangs. Those spectators could have been forced into the stadium to watch.
Its reported they also had a team of nurses who checked if she was alive at intervals. If she was, she was replaced back in the ground and the stoning continued.
Truly evil humans.
