A woman in Somalia has been stoned to death after an Islamic Sharia law court found her guilty of adultery.
The woman was buried up to her neck and then pelted to death with stones in front of a large crowd in Kismayo.
It was the first such execution in the southern port city since Islamist insurgents captured it from government-allied forces in August.

Crimes for which the Quran mandates specific punishments:
source: http://www.cfr.org/publication/8034/
Five crimes known as the Hadd offenses, Lombardi says. Because these offenses are mentioned in the Quran, committing them is considered an affront to God. They are:
1. Wine-drinking and, by extension, alcohol-drinking, punishable by flogging
2. Unlawful sexual intercourse, punishable by flogging for unmarried offenders and stoning to death for adulterers
3. False accusation of unlawful sexual intercourse, punishable by flogging
4. Theft, punishable by the amputation of a hand
5. Highway robbery, punishable by amputation, or execution if the crime results in a homicide.

Watch stoning here; sentencing & preparation first, then the laws of Allah are put in motion:

(video from Iran, but the stones in Iran, and Sudan, I'm sure, are similarly constructed [as is human flesh])
