Lesbians sentenced to death in Somalia Feb 20, 2001 A court in Somalia's northeastern city of Boosaaso has sentenced two women to death after finding that they had lived together and engaged in "cultural perversion", the Somali newspaper Qaran reported on its web site on Tuesday. The two unnamed women, who had been "married for some time", will be executed by firing squad. The court found that one of the women, who had spent time in "America", had brought back a "gadget to facilitate coition". The woman treated her partner to "anything a bride would desire" but the latter had accused her of failing to pay for medical treatment when she succumbed to "an illness caused by their relations". The newspaper noted that the case was the first in living memory in Somalia. Source: Qaran web site, Mogadishu |
