Dear
friends, |
|
Death
by stoning.
This is the cruel fate that
Amal is facing in Sudan. She’s only 20
years old, and a judge decided she deserved to
be tortured to death for adultery in
the first stoning sentence in a
decade.
But there is still
hope: Amal has appealed to the verdict,
and the court could overturn the sentence and
save her life.
There’s no time to
waste: Amal is stuck in jail until the court
decides her fate -- so let’s shine a
bright spotlight on her case with a global show
of solidarity and outrage. Add your name now and
when it’s massive, we’ll take our call
directly to key governments Sudan is
trying to court, so they demand Amal's release.
Sign now and share with everyone.

Amal's
trial was a sham: she was even denied a
lawyer to defend her after reports that the
police obtained a confession illegally. Amal had
moved back home after separating from her
husband -- now she's facing brutal execution for
adultery.
Three years ago, women were at
the forefront of the Sudanese revolution. But
today they are still denied equal rights and
participation in public life. And as shocking as
it is, Amal's case
is part of a wider attack on women’s rights
following the military coup that
interrupted Sudan’s democratic
revolution.
We can’t stand idly by as
Sudan’s military tries to bring back the country
to the dark times of Omar al-Bashir’s brutal
ultra-conservative dictatorship. The new rulers
of Khartoum are trying to normalize their
relations with big powers like the United States
-- and massive outrage from Avaaz
members around the world could become a thorn in
their side they can’t ignore. Add
your name now. |

Women
and girls’ rights are under attack all around
the world: but time and again our community has
come together to fight back -- from our
campaigns to reopen schools for Afghan girls, to
a new treaty against sexual harassment at work
and a global movement for abortion rights in the
United States. From Khartoum to Kabul and
Washington, solidarity is how we fight
back.
With hope and endless
determination,
John, Anneke, Mike, Ruth,
Antonia, Luis and the whole Avaaz team

We changed Amal's name to help protect her
identity at her lawyer's
request.
