Muslim authorities in northern Nigeria have given 100 lashes to a teenage mother convicted of premarital sex, officials said today. Human rights groups had campaigned strongly against the conviction and sentencing of the woman, Bariya Magazu, 17, by a court enforcing Shariah, or Islamic law.

Whilst your judgements based on race and ethnicity are all very interesting, it has no relevance to the story.

Then I'm sure that woman will feel really silly when she realises she was lashed for nothing.
