Amina Lawal had her appeal adjourned until 27 August as she sought to overturn a conviction for adultery.
On learning of the postponement Sergio d'Elia, Secretary of Hands Off Cain declared: "Its news which we were expecting and which reveals the difficulties faced by a state such as Katsina, which has introduced Sharia law, in making provisions for the execution by stoning in the abolitionist President Olusegun Obasanjo's Nigeria.
"Today's decision is another step towards the final solution to both the problem and the case, that is to say Amina's acquittal in Katsina or a declaration indicating as unconstitutional the application of Islamic penal law in President Obasanjo's secular Nigeria."
