13 years old - Raped, then convicted of adultery and stoned to death.

Asha Ibrahim Dhuhulow was raped by three men and when she reported it to the police she was arrested, accused of adultery, convicted and then sentenced to be stoned to death.

Asha’s Aunt had urged her to report the rape and had taken her to the police station. Two of the men were arrested and questioned and then she was asked to take Asha back in to the station.

the authorities clearly failed to notice her age, how mentally disturbed she was by her experience

The aunt says.  Asha was 13 years old, just 13.

"I was not even told that she was to be killed, I just heard it from people after it happened. "I don’t know what crime she committed other than being raped; and I was not even allowed to see her body,"

I’m speechless.
