I move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes that in October 2008, 13-year-old Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was stoned to death for adultery in Kismayo, Somalia, by 50 men in front of 1 000 spectators, after her father reported she had been raped by three men, none of whom were arrested;
- (b)
- expresses profound distress at this barbaric act against a child;
- (c)
- condemns the Al-Shabaab militia rebels who arranged the stoning; and
- (d)
- backs international action to restore peace and human dignity to Somalia.
Question agreed to.
