trial"
ABUJA,
October 2 (IslamONline.net) - In her first statements to the media since
theNigerian Islamic appeals court quashed
on Thursday, September 25, a death by stoning sentence against her,
Amina Lawal maintained "trial did not affect my faith in Islam,
because I know that shariah makes room for fair trial."
"It
is a fair procedure, and so I was never afraid throughout my
trial," The 32-year-old single mother Amina Lawal told The
Associated Press.
Though
she has remained in Abuja since the verdict, Amina was hopeful to go
home to her Muslim community in the northern Katsina state.
"I
believe everything will be fine," said Lawal, who during her trial
had spoken out only to urge international rights groups not to interfere
in the work of the Islamic courts.
