When good people do nothing

(via the BBC)

A young woman recently stoned to death in Somalia first pleaded for her life, a witness has told the BBC.

Human rights group Amnesty International says the victim was a 13-year-old girl who had been raped.

Initial reports had said she was a 23-year-old woman who had confessed to adultery before a Sharia court.

And there were witnesses...

The witness says she was forced into a hole, buried up to her neck then pelted with stones until she died in front of more than 1,000 people.

And attendant nurses...

According to Amnesty International, nurses were sent to check during the stoning whether the victim was still alive. They removed her from the ground and declared that she was, before she was replaced so the stoning could continue.
