  RFI Musique - - AMINA
Amina only played a minor role in the film (the major stars were John Malkovitch and Debra Winger) but she still managed to win major acclaim from the critics.
Amina had already made a name for herself on the international music scene before the release of her first album and the European tour she embarked upon just after the release of "Yahil" only served to confirm her popularity.
Amina's second album proved to be a big hit with the critics as well as the record-buying public and, following the success of "Wa di yé", the singer embarked upon an extensive international tour.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Inboxer Rebellion (Amina Lawal)
Amina Lawal has been sentenced to death by STONING - she is to be buried up to her neck in the ground, after which her punishers will surround her and throw rocks at her head until her skull is crushed and she dies a painful and horrible death.
In August 2002 Amina's appeal was rejected by the regional appeals court and her death sentence upheld.
Whether Amina's lawyers can successfully appeal her death sentence before Nigeria's secular supreme court (rather than the Islamic Sharia court) is problematic because such an appeal would test the authority of Islamic courts to hand down such sentences.

Wasila had been born over nine months after Amina was divorced and, in Nigeria's Islamic courts, this is taken to be prima facie evidence that Amina committed adultery.
Yet, terrible as is Amina's plight, her situation is but a symptom of a larger problem afflicting Nigeria and other African nations.
Amina Lawal's fate is rightfully important to human-rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, but it should also be a warning sign to conservative realists.
