TAKE ACTION

STOP THE ORDERED FLOGGING OF A WOMAN IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

A female domestic worker has reportedly been sentenced to 150 lashes
for
becoming pregnant outside of marriage in the United Arab Emirates. The
woman
was sentenced by a Shari'a (Islamic) court of law, after the result of
a
forced pregnancy test was positive. The ordered flogging violates her
right
against torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment, and is a
form of
gender-based violence. Help stop the ordered flogging immediately.

END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN BY DRC ARMED FORCES

Armed groups in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have committed
acts of
violence against tens of thousands of women and children. Since signing
the
December 2002 All-Inclusive Peace Agreement to end the major conflict,
former leaders of these armed troops have become part of the current
transitional government. But Amnesty International believes that these
armed
groups retain their military capability and readiness for renewed
conflict
and continue to commit grave human rights abuses.
