| Â | PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA |
| | President Obasanjo said that if Africa had to have a permanent seat on the Security Council, it would be discussed by African States, and not by the correspondent of the Financial Times. | | | He said Amina Lawal’s case would be appealed to the highest level of Nigeria’s judicial system. “I believe -- and I have no doubt in my mind -- that the case would go on and on and she would get justice. And justice would mean that her appeal would be sustained.” | | | He was asked to comment on the issue of reform of the Security Council, which the Secretary-General recently raised. The correspondent asked whether Africa should have a permanent seat, represented by South Africa. |

| | Kurami is the second woman to be sentenced to death for adultery since 2000, when sharia law was first adopted in Nigeria. | | | The Islamic appeals panel ruled the conviction couldn't stand because Lawal wasn't given enough time to understand the charges against her; only one judge, instead of the required three, presided at her trial; and she was not caught in the act of sex out of wedlock. | | | In March, an appeals court in northwestern Sokoto state quashed a similar sentence on Safiya Hussaini Tungar-Tudu after worldwide appeals for clemency. |
