LIFT THE SENTENCE TO STONE A SRI LANKAN WOMAN TO DEATH FOR ADULTERY

Demand that the Sri Lankan government lift the sentence laid on a woman who had an affair with a bachelor. She is to be stoned to death in a community that claims to follow human rights.

Why is this important?

No one should be put through an ordeal like this - especially someone with children waiting for her back home. I honestly could not believe this headline when scrolling through my facebook news feed. I once read a short story called The Lottery by Shirley Jackson in which a woman is stoned to death because she is unlucky enough to draw the unlucky ticket in the local 'lotery'. That was fantasy. This is reality; and the two should never be mixed. Please help prevent this barbaric act before it's too late. Surely we've had enough of death and murder?

How it will be delivered

When we reach 100 signatures I will personally email them to the Saudi goverment.
