Reuters AlertNet - AFGHANISTAN: Woman executed for adultery:

"BADAKHSHAN, 3 May (IRIN) - It's less than a week since the tiny Afghan village community witnessed the execution of 25-year-old Bibi Amena for adultery, but by Tuesday life appeared to have returned to normal. Bibi was sentenced to death by local religious leaders in the Spingul valley in the isolated northeastern province of Badakhshan.

Her crime was to be found in the company of a man she was not married to.

'She was stoned to death right here, we buried her up to the chest and then they stoned her, she died after two hours,' Azim continued nonchalantly, as he drew a circle around a pile of small stones in a nearby field. 'There were seventy people at the stoning, I watched for few minutes but then left.'

The killing was even endorsed by Amena'a mother."
