To the authorities of Sudan:

We urgently call on you to overturn the two mothers’ cruel stoning death sentences, and to release them immediately in light of the deep irregularities in their cases. Sudan must ensure its criminal justice abides by international law, including the Convention against Torture.

Sudan: Stop the stoning!

One woman is a mother of 9. Her husband says one isn’t his. The other woman’s husband abandoned her after she gave birth to their first baby – 7 years ago. Now he’s back and accusing her of adultery.

For these ‘crimes’, courts sentenced them to a cruel and painful death by stoning – after a sham trial where the women didn’t even have lawyers.

But there’s still a chance to stop this: They now have lawyers to launch appeals – and a bright global spotlight can help make sure they have a fair hearing.

It’s worked before! In a very similar case a few years ago, Avaaz rallied more than a million global citizens and a higher court overturned the sentence.

Now let’s do it again. Sign now, and Avaaz will send much-needed support to the appeals team. We’ll also work to build a unified call from all of us along with Sudanese groups and international rights organizations!

​To preserve anonymity, this photo does not show the women who have been sentenced to death.
