SOMALIA: ISLAMIST MILITANTS STONE 18-YEAR-OLD TO DEATH FOR RAPE

Al-Shabaab militants in southern Somalia publicly stoned an 18-year-old boy to death after he was accused of rape.
The teenager, named as Hassan Ahmed Ali, was accused of raping a 28-year-old woman at gunpoint and sentenced to death by a local judge, Al-Shabaab’s Radio Andalus reported. About 100 people witnessed the killing in the main square of Dharuuro, a village in Somalia’s Lower Shabelle region, Mohamed Dhubow, a resident, said by phone.
“Dozens of masked fighters” threw stones at the teenager, who’d been buried up to his neck, Dhubow said. “No one could help him.”
