...1. Adultery 2. Bestiality 3. Murder 4. Treason Under the Sharia, strict Muslim laws used in many of the northern states of Nigeria, a man or woman can be sentenced to death by stoning if convicted of adultery. In the case of Lawal, she admitted to having a child with a man several months after divorcing her second husband. The man, who originally pledged to help Lawal with her baby, later denied the baby was his, after his family pressured him. Lawal's case drew attention from Amnesty International and Oprah Winfrey, and ultimately she was set free during appeals in September 2003, because her pregnancy occurred before Sharia law was enacted in her home province.
