The Militant Group was an early British Trotskyist group, formed in 1935 by Denzil Dean Harber, former leader of the Marxist Group, as an entrist group al-Shabab, said the woman had given birth to a still-born baby after the affair. Under al-Shabab's interpretation of Sharia law, anyone who has ever been married - even if they are divorced - can be stoned to death for adultery. An unmarried person who has sex before marriage is liable to 100 lashes. The killing was in a small Somali village near Wajid, 250 miles north-west of the capital, Mogadishu. It is thought to be the second time al-Shabab has had a woman stoned to death for adultery. The group controls large areas of southern Somalia which has been without central government for 18 years. Earlier this month a man was stoned to death for adultery south of Mogadishu. His pregnant girlfriend was spared until she gives birth. Last month two men accused of spying were stoned to death in Merka. |
