FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Lapidation

Lapidation: Death by stoning.

As seen in: « Des islamistes ont tué hier par lapidation un couple non marié à Aguelhok, dans le nord du Mali, le premier cas à ce jour connu dans cette région depuis son occupation totale par les groupes armés islamistes il y quatre mois. »

(Translation: “Islamists stoned to death a non-married couple yesterday in Aguelhok, in the north of Mali, the first known case to date in this region since its total occupation by armed Islamic groups four months ago.”)
