    NEW BBC REPORT DISPUTES SOME FACTS:

    BBC reports that according to aid workers on the scene the girl was 13 and reported having been raped.
    “I don’t want this,” “don’t do this to me,” she cried as she was dragged to the burial pit.

    The new report also says a nurse was asked to certify the girl’s death, so she was dug up and examined. The nurse said the girl was still alive; she was then reburied and the stoning continued.
