Det er straffen for utroskab i de nigerianske delstater, der anvender sharia-lovgivningen.
In those Nigerian states which apply Islamic law, adultery carries the death penalty.
Som overbevist muslim arbejder Hauwa Ibrahim utrætteligt og på trods af skræmmekampagner for at bekæmpe religiøs fundamentalisme.
A Muslim herself, Hauwa Ibrahim works tirelessly - voluntarily and despite intimidation - to fight religious fundamentalism.
Spørgsmålet er, om den nigerianske forfatning og international støtte vil være nok til at vinde kampen.
Will the provisions of her own country’s Constitution and international support be enough to win the battle?
Det er hun selv overbevist om.
She believes so.
Hauwa Ibrahim er den eneste sagfører i Nigeria, som er direkte modstander af den muslimske sharia-lovgivning.
Hauwa Ibrahim is the only lawyer in her country opposed to Sharia (Islamic law) law.
Som kvinde har hun imidlertid ikke møderet for de muslimske domstole.
As a woman, however, she does not have the right to appear before the Islamic courts.
Hendes kolleger må tale på hendes vegne.
Her colleagues have to speak in her place.
Som muslim er hun blevet beskyldt for at være en forræder mod sin egen religion.
As a Muslim she has been accused of betraying her religion.
Men hvem andre end hende er i stand til at forsvare de personer (hovedsageligt kvinder), der i henhold til sharia-lovgivningen er blevet idømt rædselsvækkende straffe, såsom pryglestraf, stening eller amputation, for såkaldt "afvigende adfærd"?
But who, other than her, can defend people (mainly women) condemned under Sharia law to horrifying punishments (lashing, stoning and amputation) for “deviant behaviour”?
I et land, hvor halvdelen af befolkningen er muslimsk, og hvor der fortsat er dybe splittelser mellem de to befolkningsgrupper, har hendes kristne kolleger ikke megen lyst til at blive indblandet i sager, der udspringer af den muslimske tro.
In a country where half the population is Muslim, and where deep divisions remain between the two communities, her Christian colleagues have little inclination to become involved in matters to do with Islam.
De muslimske sagførere udgør et mindretal, og de har heller ikke lyst til at dele hendes skæbne: Chikaner, telefontrusler, smædekampagner og en formel anklage for injurier mod retssystemet.
Muslim lawyers, who are in the minority, are not particular keen to experience the fate that has befallen her: harassment, threatening phone calls, being insulted in leaflets and a formal charge of libelling the judiciary.
Men hun vil ikke lade sig true til tavshed.
But she won’t be silenced.
Hendes harme er blevet forvandlet til en stålsat overbevisning om, at de personer, som er blevet idømt uretfærdige straffe, eller som ikke kan forsvare sig selv, kan forsvares på lovlig og fredelig vis.
Revolt has given way to a determination to show that those sentenced to unjust punishments, or who are incapable of defending themselves, can be defended in a legal and peaceful manner.
Nigeria er en sekulær stat uden statsreligion, bestående af 36 delstater.
There is no state religion in Nigeria - its 36 states are secular.
I henhold til den nigerianske forfatning har enhver borger ret til at forsvare sig over for en domstol.
The Constitution says that every citizen has the right to be defended before a court.
Hauwa Ibrahim går ind for at følge forfatningens ordlyd til punkt og prikke.
Hauwa Ibrahim wants it to be applied, and she dares to question the Nigerian authorities directly about the constitutionality of applying Sharia law.
Hun mener, at anvendelse af sharia-lovgivningen er forfatningsstridigt, og hun har opfordret de nigerianske myndigheder til at melde klart ud på dette punkt.
The activities of this lawyer who refuses to buckle down are a source of huge embarrassment to the authorities.
Takket være hende er de mange sager om kvinder, som er idømt umenneskelige straffe, blevet kendt over hele verden.
It is especially thanks to her that cases of women condemned to inhuman treatment are known throughout the world.
Det var hendes evne til at skabe international opmærksomhed, der gjorde det muligt at redde Amina Lawal, som var blevet dømt til døden ved stening for at have født et barn uden for ægteskab.
It was her ability to arouse international public opinion that made it possible to save the life of Amina Lawal, who was condemned to be stoned to death for having given birth outside of marriage.
Der bliver fortsat afsagt dødsdomme, men de bliver ikke fuldført - i hvert fald ikke lige for tiden.
Death sentences continue to be handed down but they are not carried out - for the moment anyhow.
Der er imidlertid grund til at følge udviklingen nøje.
However, the situation needs to be kept under close watch.
Hauwa Ibrahim er 37 og mor til to.
Hauwa Ibrahim is 37 and a mother of two.
Hun blev født i en landsby med 2.000 indbyggere, hvor der hverken var indlagt vand eller elektricitet.
She was born in a village with a population of 2000, which had neither running water nor electricity.
Det stod ikke skrevet i stjernerne, at hun skulle blive sagfører.
A career as a lawyer was not supposed to figure in her destiny.
Hendes ægteskab blev arrangeret, da hun var 12, og hun skulle være gået ud af folkeskolen.
Her marriage was arranged when she was 12 and her studies ought to have ended at primary school.
Hun finansierede imidlertid selv sine studier, og hun er meget bevidst om betydningen af uddannelse som det bedste værn mod afsavn og nød.
She financed her studies herself and she is acutely aware of the importance of education as the best defence for those facing the greatest deprivation.
Fattigdom og analfabetisme går hånd i hånd - og uvidenhed er den bedste grobund for fundamentalisme.
Poverty and illiteracy go hand in hand - and fundamentalism feeds on ignorance.
Sakharov-prisen for tankefrihed Candidates for the 2005 Sakharov Prize The finalists Europa-Parlamentets beslutning om Nigeria: Amina Lawal-sagen
The Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought Candidates for the 2005 Sakharov Prize The situation in Nigeria and the case of Amina Lawal
Sakharov-nominerede: Journalister der forsvarer pressefriheden.
Sakharov Nominee: Reporters who defend freedom of the press
Plakat for "Journalister uden grænser" “Journalister uden grænser” – en gruppe, der laver kampagner for pressefriheden verden rundt – er den tredie og sidste nominerede til Parlamentets Sakharov-pris for tankefrihed.
Poster of Reporters without Borders "Reporters Without Borders" - a group that campaigns for press freedom around the world - is the third and final nominee for Parliament's Sakharov prize for freedom of thought.
Gruppen, der fejrer 20-års jubilæum i år, forsvarer og støtter journalister og andre, der arbejder inden for medierne, imod forfølgelse og censur.
The group, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, defends and supports journalists and others working in the media from persecution and censorship.
Dette er især vigtigt, da en trediedel af alle lande i verden ifølge gruppen endnu ikke har frie medier.
This is particularly important as according to the group, a third of all countries in the world still do not have a free media.
Derudover er der det dystre dødstal for journalister og andre, der bliver dræbt under udførelse af deres arbejde.
There is also the grim death toll of journalists and others who are killed while carrying out their work.
Ifølge International News Safety Institute (INSI) var der indtil den 10. oktober i år blevet dræbt 62 journalister, mens de dækkede nyhedshistorier.
According to the International News Safety Institute (INSI), as of 10 October this year 62 journalists had been killed while covering news stories.
En universel rettighed: "Journalister uden grænser" har sin inspiration fra artikel 19 i Verdenserklæringen om Menneskerettighederne fra 1948, hvori det erklæres, at enhver har “ret til menings- og ytringsfrihed“ og også ret til at “søge, modtage og meddele“ oplysning og tanker.
A universal right: Reporters without Borders draws its inspiration from Article 19 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that everyone has "the right to freedom of opinion and expression" and also the right to "seek, receive and impart" information and ideas.
Dette er blevet formuleret igen i flere chartre og erklæringer rundt om i verden og omfatter Afrika, Nordamerika og Sydamerika.
This has been restated by several charters and declarations around the world covering Africa and the Americas.
I Europa er denne rettighed omfattet af den Europæiske konvention til beskyttelse af menneskerettigheder og fundamentale friheder fra 1950.
In Europe this right is included in the 1950 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
"Forsøg at undgå at tro på henrettelsestrusler": Ud over det moralske argument, gruppen gør gældende imod forfølgelse af pressen, tilbyder den også praktisk og juridisk hjælp til journalister, der arbejder i krigszoner.
"Try not to believe threats of execution": As well as the moral argument it makes against persecution of the press, the group also offers practical and legal assistance to journalists who work in war zones.
Gruppen yder i sine retningslinier rådgivning til journalister om, hvad de skal gøre, hvis de bliver taget som gidsler:”Prøv at få dem til at bruge dit navn, da det kan få dem til at betragte dig som en person og mindske spændingen”.
In their guidelines the group offers advice to journalists on what to do if they are taken hostage: "Try to get them to use your name, as that can lead them to consider you as a person and reduce tension".
Den råder også gidsler til at “prøve at undgå at tro på trusler om henrettelse eller løfter om frigivelse”.
It also advises hostages that they should "try not to believe threats of execution or promises of release".
Retningslinierne fortsætter med at give råd om alt fra at undgå snigskytter til at genkende vejkant-bomber.
The guidelines go on to offer advice on everything from avoiding snipers to recognising roadside bombs.
Som en yderligere sikkerhedsforanstaltning udlåner gruppen også skudsikre veste mærket “PRESS”, når de arbejder i en krigszone.
As a further security precaution the group also offers freelance journalists the use of bullet-proof jackets marked "PRESS" when working in a war zone.
"Journalister uden grænser" giver også støttelegater til at hjælpe fængslede journalisters familier.
Reporters without Borders also offers support grants to assist the families of imprisoned journalists.
Disse legater kan også dække lægelige eller juridiske udgifter.
These grants may also cover medical or legal fees.
Tidligere i år var "Journalister uden grænser" forsidestof, da de agiterede kraftigt for at løslade to franske journalister, Christian Chesnot (RFI, Radio France) og Georges Malbrunot (Le Figaro, RTL), som blev holdt som gidsler af militante islamister i Irak.
Earlier this year, Reporters was in the headlines when it campaigned vigorously for the release of two French journalists - Christian Chesnot (RFI, Radio France) and Georges Malbrunot (Le Figaro, RTL) - who were being held hostage by Islamic militants in Iraq.
Lykkeligvis blev begge mænd genforenet med deres familier efter 124 døgns fangenskab.
Thankfully, both men were reunited with their families after 124 days in captivity.

Sakharov-prisen – tidligere prismodtagere
Sakharov Prize - previous winners
Sakharov-prisvinder Nelson Mandela Verden var en ganske anden, da Nelson Mandela fik tildelt den første Sakharov-pris i 1988.
Nelson Mandela - a Sakharov prize winner in 1988 The world was a very different place when the first Sakharov prize was awarded to Nelson Mandela in 1988.
Berlinmuren var endnu hel, og Jerntæppet delte det kapitalistiske Vesteuropa fra det Sovjet-dominerede Østeuropa.
The Berlin wall was still intact and the Iron Curtain still divided capitalist Western Europe from the Soviet-dominated east.
I Sydafrika sad apartheid-regimet ved magten - og det var for at have ydet modstand mod denne raceadskillelse, prisen blev givet til Nelson Mandela, der endnu sad i fængsel.
In South Africa, the Apartheid regime was still in place - and it was for resistance to this racial segregation that the award was given to the still-imprisoned Mr Mandela.
Det år hædredes også Sovjet-dissidenten Anatoli Marchenko , som fik tildelt prisen efter sin død.
Also honoured that year was Soviet dissident Anatoli Marchenko , to whom the prize was awarded posthumously.
Han havde tilbragt 20 år i fængsel og døde i 1986 efter at have sultestrejket.
He had spent 20 years in jail and finally died in 1986 following a hunger strike.
I 1990 besluttede Sakharov-juryen at hædre en anden systemkritiker, nemlig den burmesiske menneskerettighedsaktivist Aung San Suu Kyi .
In 1990 the Sakharov jury decided to honour another dissident - Burmese human rights activist Aung San Suu Kyi .
Det politiske parti, hun stod i spidsen for, vandt dette år valget med 82 % af stemmerne.
The political party she led won elections in May that year with 82% of the vote.
Denne sejr blev dog ignoreret af det regerende militærregime - benævnet “State Law and Order Restoration Council” (SLORC) - der derefter satte lederne af vinderpartiet under arrest.
However, this victory was ignored by the ruling military regime - the "State Law and Order Restoration Council" (SLORC) - which went on to place the leaders of the winning party under arrest.
Aung San Suu Kyi har tilbragt størstedelen af de seneste 16 år under husarrest og er blevet en international heltinde.
Aung San Suu Kyiv has spent most of the last 16 years under house arrest and has become an international heroine.
Den kubanske demokratiforkæmper Oswaldo Payá blev hædret med prisen i 2002.
The Cuban pro-democracy campaigner Oswaldo Payá was honoured with the prize in 2002.
Som leder af Christian Liberation Movement gik han stærkt ind for fredelig demokratisk forandring i Cuba.
As head of the Christian Liberation Movement he has strongly advocated peaceful democratic change in Cuba.
Ved prismodtagelsen i Strasbourg sagde han til parlamentsmedlemmerne, at de havde “tildelt Sakharov-prisen til Cubas folk”.
Upon the receipt of the prize in Strasbourg he told MEPs that "they had awarded the Sakharov prize to the people of Cuba."
Det er ikke kun enkeltpersoner, der har fået prisen.
It is not just individuals who have received the prize.
I 2003 blev de Forenede Nationer og generalsekretær Kofi Annan hædret i et år, der var turbulent for organisationen som følge af de kontroversielle diskussioner om Irak.
In 2003 the United Nations staff and Secretary General Kofi Annan were honoured in what was a turbulent year for the organisation with controversial debates over Iraq.
Sidste år blev manglen på demokratiske frihedsrettigheder i Hviderusland erkendt, idet prisen blev givet til Journalistforbundet i Hviderusland , der kæmpede imod præsident Aleksander Lukashenkos regimes undertrykkelse af medierne.
Last year, the lack of democratic freedoms in Belarus was recognised with the awarding of the prize to the Belarus Association of journalists who were resisting repression of the media by the regime of President Aleksander Lukashenko.
Det skal nævnes, at Sakharov-prisen, i løbet af sin 17-årige historie, er blevet tildelt tre vindere af Nobels fredspris: Aung San Suu Kyi (Nobelprisvinder 1991), Nelson Mandela (1993) og FN og Kofi Annan (2001).
It is worth noting that in its 17 year history the Sakharov prize has been awarded twice to people who subsequently went on to win the Nobel Peace prize: Aung San Suu Kyi (1991 Nobel winner) and Nelson Mandela (1993).
Andrei Sakharov fik selv Nobel-prisen i 1975.
Andrei Sakharov himself won the Nobel prize in 1975.

Europa-Parlamentets betjente
The European Parliament’s Ushers
Læs mere om, hvem de er, og hvad de laver.
Find out more about who they are and what they do.
Uden betjentene kunne Parlamentet ikke fungere effektivt, det hersker der enighed om.
Everyone agrees – without ushers the European Parliament could not function effectively.
Hver dag omdeler de tusindvis af breve og dokumenter mellem kontorerne og til de møder, som Parlamentets udvalg og de politiske grupper afholder.
Every day, they deliver thousands of letters and documents to offices and to the meetings held by the Political Groups and Parliamentary Committees.
Det er dog kun en del af deres arbejde.
But that is only part of their job.
De er også blandt de første, som de nye MEP’er støder på, når de indtager deres pladser.
They are also among the first people encountered by new MEPs when they take up their seats.
Således dannede de for nylig æresvagt iført de sorte kjolejakker og hvide handsker som en velkomst til de bulgarske og rumænske observatører, da de indledte deres periode i Strasbourg.
So, wearing their black tails and white gloves, they recently formed a guard of honour to welcome Bulgarian and Romanian observers who were beginning their term of office in Strasbourg.
At blive bekendt med nye ansigter i en fart er noget, der vægtes højt i betjentkorpset, og det betaler sig.
Getting to know new arrivals’ faces quickly will pay dividends for an usher.
Lynhurtigt ved de, hvilke MEP’er, der har lov at være tilstede i salen eller deltage i lukkede møder.
Quick as a flash they will know which MEP is authorised to enter the chamber or a closed session meeting.
De kan så anvise dem deres pladser og undervejs i møderne videregive notater fra assistenterne eller beskeder fra de politiske grupper.
They can thus show them where to sit as well as pass on a quick note from their assistant or a message from their political group.
En slags parlamentarisk ordensmagt
A sort of parliamentary police force?
Michel Rousseau Ikke alle kan opholde sig i salen under et plenarmøde.
Michel Rousseau, Head Usher Not everyone is authorised to enter the chamber during a plenary session.
De betjente, der er til stede ved disse lejligheder fungerer derfor som forbindelsesled mellem MEP’er og kolleger.
The ushers who are present at these sessions therefore act as go-betweens for MEPs and their colleagues.
Ind imellem er jobbet vanskeligere.
Sometimes their job is trickier.
Sådanne hændelser er heldigvis sjældne.
Fortunately, such occasions are rare.
Når det endelig sker, slår parlamentsbetjentene (stadig klædt i kjole og hvidt) kreds om de ulydige MEP’er og forsøger at overtale dem til at holde inde, mens legen er god.
When they do arise, ushers (still dressed in tails) surround the offending MEPs to persuade them not to make matters worse - which works most of the time!
Parlamentsbetjentenes leder Michel Rousseau (se foto) tænker tilbage: ”Kun én gang i min tid har vi været nødt til at bortvise et parlamentsmedlem fra hans plads og det var her for et par år siden.
As Michel Rousseau (see photo), the Parliament’s Head Usher recalls, “only once in my career did we have to eject an MEP from his seat – and that was a few years ago.
Normalt kommer vi fint ud af det med hinanden.”
Generally speaking we get on well together.”
I kjole eller jakkesæt
Tails or suits?
For tiden er der ansat 180 betjente ved Europa-Parlamentets tre adresser i Bruxelles, Strasbourg og Luxembourg.
Today there are 180 ushers serving the European Parliament’s three sites at Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg.
Det hænder også, at de bliver sendt på arbejde andre steder, for eksempel når et møde i en politisk gruppe afholdes i en af medlemsstaterne.
There are also occasions when they are called upon to work elsewhere, such as when a political group meeting is held in one of the Parliament’s member states.
Af disse er 30 ansvarlige for at sikre, at servicen omkring plenarmøderne forløber glat.
Of these, 30 are responsible directly for the plenary sessions.
Disse betjente er særligt synlige i kraft af deres ceremonielle dragter.
The latter stand out on account of their ceremonial dress.
Deres kjolesæt er skræddersyede og kan beholdes som minde, når de fratræder.
Their tailcoats are made to measure and they are entitled to keep them as a memento when their time of service comes to an end.
Betjentenes leder kan kun genkendes på, at hans kæde er forgyldt, hvor de øvrige betjentes er forsølvede.
The only distinguishing outward sign is that the Head Usher’s chain is gilded (the chains of the other ushers are silver plated).
Formandens personlige parlamentsbetjent
The President’s usher
Alle betjentene er til rådighed for formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, men én af dem er personligt tilknyttet formanden under hans periode på to et halvt år.
All ushers are at the service of the President of the European Parliament, but one usher is personally assigned to the President during their two-and-a-half year term of office.
Formandens betjent skal, om muligt, være endnu mere til rådighed end de øvrige i korpset, og udvise absolut diskretion, uanset hvor og hvornår.
As much if not more so than all the other ushers, the President’s usher needs to demonstrate absolute discretion and to be always readily available – regardless of time and place.
Susanne Ivarsson, som har været ved Parlamentet i hen ved ni år, blev tilknyttet Josep Borrell, da han startede sin formandsperiode.
Susanne Ivarsson, who has been at the Parliament for close on nine years, was assigned to President Borrell at the start of his term of office.
Hun indrømmer, at ”der simpelthen ikke er plads til at have én eneste dårlig dag.”
She acknowledges that “you can’t afford to have a bad day.”
En revolutionær historie
A revolutionary history
Den franske betegnelse for betjentene er huissiers (afledt af huis , som betyder ”dør”) og både betegnelsen og de funktioner den dækker, har rod i fransk historie.
The French word for “usher” is huissier (which is derived from huis meaning “door”) and both the term and the functions it covers are rooted in French history.
Selve embedet blev oprettet i 1789 (året for den franske revolution) for at holde orden under de ofte ophidsede debatter i den nyoprettede franske nationalforsamling.
The post itself was created in 1789 (the year of the French Revolution) to maintain order during the often impassioned debates in the newly-established French National Assembly.
De Kjolesæt og kæder parlamentsbetjentene bærer, kan ligeledes spores til traditioner opstået i Frankrig.
The tailcoats and chains worn by the European Parliament’s ushers can also be traced to traditions established in France.
Lige indtil de første direkte valg til Europa-Parlamentet, blev betjentene rekrutteret fra de nationale parlamenter (ligesom MEP’erne).
Up until the first direct European parliamentary elections, ushers (like the MEPs themselves) were drawn from the national parliaments.
Men siden 1979 er de blevet ansat på samme måde som de øvrige EU-embedsmænd.
But, since 1979, they have been recruited in the same way as any other European civil servant.
