Amounda Abdallah Daldoum is a 23 years old Sudanese woman who was sentenced to death by stoning for committing adultery on March 6, 2007 by the criminal court of Al-Azazi, Managil province, Gazeera state. She was charged under article 146 (a) of Sudan’s 1991 Penal Code, which states that whoever commits the offence of adultery shall be punished with: a) execution by stoning when the offender is married (Muhsan); b) one hundred lashes when the offender is not married (non-muhsan)." She has since appealed the judgement.
