The plight of Intisar Sharif Abdallah was gaining Western attentiontoday, as Sudanese rights campaigners blasted it as a "failureof the justice system." Abdallah, who is thought to be aged between 16 and 20, is detainedwith her four-month-old baby near Sudan's capital of Khartoum, theAngola Press reported. She was convicted in a rapid single session at Ombada criminalcourt in Omdurman on May 13, on charges of adultery under article146 of Sudan's criminal code of 1991. The young woman is said to be shackled at the legs, in deeppsychological distress and does not understand the nature of hercharges because she cannot speak Arabic. It is alleged Abdallah endured beatings by her brother, after whichshe confessed to the charges of adultery, The Guardian reported. Abdallah's other three children are in the care of herextended family who are filing an appeal in Ombada. Her marital status was unclear and it was not reported who she wasaccused of committing adultery with. According to the Guardian , an unspecified man was detained with her but then released. "The case is emblematic of the failure of the Sudanesejudicial system," said Jean-Baptiste Gallopin of AmnestyInternational's Sudan branch. "She was convicted solely based on a testimony she gave underduress. We call on the Sudanese authorities to stop the execution,overturn her stoning sentence and release her immediately andunconditionally." Sudan is one of seven countries that sentences death by stoning.President Omar Hassan al Bashir, who began introducing elements ofsharia law in 1989 after coming to power through an Islamist-backedcoup, aims to adopt a fully Islamic constitution now that SouthSudan has seceded. While it is rarely administered, more women than men receive thebrutal punishment. The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Hornof Africa said the court decision, "Demonstrates the scale ofdiscrimination against women and girls in Sudan and the biasedjudgments made against them for acts which require two parties -- aman and woman." Amnesty International has urged its supporters to write to theSudanese government and plead for the sentence to be quashed andfor Abdallah to be set free.
