Girl, 15yrs – subjected to flogging – take action!
by Amei | March 1, 2013 at 10:46 PM
Take action to STOP THE INJUSTICE of flogging and house arrest of the girl. If you can email me (amei.a@hotmail.com) I am happy to post and deliver to the addresses below.
Amnesty International has posted an appeal to write immediately in English or your own language, urging the Maldivian authorities to:
Release the girl immediately and unconditionally, including ending the house arrest, and ensure that she is not
flogged or otherwise punished;
Ensure that the judicial process is initiated in order to overturn the conviction for “fornication”;
Ensure that she has access to adequate and appropriate protective and support services;
End the practice of flogging as a form of punishment and act to amend Maldivian law to remove the provisions
that allow flogging, as well as those that criminalise “fornication”.
PLEASE SEND APPEALS BEFORE 11 APRIL 2013 TO:
President Dr Mohamed Waheed
