Amina Lawal and her baby, Wasila, sit in a courtroom in Katsina, Nigeria, today. Amina, a 31-year-old single mother, was sentenced in March 2002 to be buried up to her neck in sand and then stoned for giving birth to a child out of wedlock. The appeal case was postponed until Aug. 27, 2003, because the judges were unable to attend due to an election they were involved in.
