• A Somali woman has been stoned to death for committing what a judge has said was adultery.
• The 20-year-old divorcee was executed on Tuesday after confessing to having had sex with a 29-year-old unmarried man.
• Sheikh Ibrahim Abdirahman, the judge for a court created by the rebel group al-Shabab, says the woman was killed in front of a crowd of some 200 people near the town of Wajid.
• The woman, who gave birth to a stillborn child, was buried up to her waist before the stoning took place. Her boyfriend was given 100 lashes for having the affair.
• The woman’s death is the second recorded stoning for adultery carried out by al-Shabab fighters, who are confronting the government and control large parts of Somalia.

(Gruesome stuff to say the least. Ugh.)
