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.
