Here's the main content in a message I received via an email list (attached below).
It is about a women in Nigeria who has a baby during her divorce. That could qualify her for a cruel punishment.

    "The Nigerian supreme court has upheld the death
    sentence for Amina Lawal, condemned to be buried up to
    her neck and stoned to death, for having a baby while
    divorced (adultery in Sharia law).  Her death has
    been postponed until 3 June so that  she can continue
    to nurse her baby. Amina's case is being handled by
    the Spanish branch of Amnesty International, which is
    attempting to put together enough signatures to make
    the Nigerian government rescind the death sentence.  A
    similiar campaign saved another Nigerian woman,
    Safiya, condemned in similar circumstances.
  
  
    The petition has so far amassed over 4 million
    signatures.  It will take you only two minutes to sign
    Amnesty's online petition.
  
    Go to the web page www.amnistiaporsafiya.org/ and
    enter your first name (in the space marked "nombre"),
    last name ("apellidos"), province or region/town
    ("provincia"), and country (Reino Unido for
    Britain).  Then click on "Seguir" and go to the second
    page.  There you have the option of entering your
    email address if you wish to receive follow-up
    information.  In any case, be sure then to click on
    "Aceptar" to have your name added to the list. Please
    sign the petition now, then forward this message to
    everyone in your address book.
  
    Thank you.
