Your Excellency,

ACAT-Luxembourg (Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture) has informed me of the execution by stoning of  JAFAR KIANI on 5 July last year in the village of Aghche-kand, near Takestan, in Qazvin province.

This man had been condemned to death by stoning for adultery, along with  MOKARRAMEH EBRAHIMI, the mother of his two children. However, following your orders to the judicial authorities of Takestan to stay the execution, the couple did not appear to be in imminent danger. I was utterly dismayed to hear of the use of such a barbaric punishment and I appeal to you to immediately take all necessary steps to prevent the stoning of Mokarrameh Ebrahimi.

I strongly urge you to commute her death sentence and allow her and her two children, who have been imprisoned with her for more than ten years, to be released as soon as possible.

I oppose the death penalty under any circumstances and consider stoning to be a particularly unacceptable and cruel form of torture to which no civilised state should have recourse. I therefore call upon your country's authorities to reinstate the moratorium on executions by stoning, which was introduced in December 2002, but has reportedly been infringed on at least two occasions already; in May 2006 in Mashhad and last July. 

I also urge you to respect the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which Iran is party, and to permanently cease all executions of juvenile delinquents.

I hope that you will consider this appeal and above all that you will act swiftly to save the life of  Mokarrameh Ebrahimi.

Yours faithfully,

Help for the ladies on SCI Muncy!

Some days ago Michelle Tharp, Shonda Walters and Carolyn King were moved to another block. The three ladies are the female death row prisoners in Pennsylvania. They were moved to block C, the punishment block. The conditions there are not fit for human beings. They had to clean their cells before they were moved, but the cells are still filthy. Shonda Walter’s cell has a bad plumbing and the cells have a rank smell. The women are suffering most from the extremely high, constant level of noise all around the clock. The other inmates scream, cuss each other out and bang o the windows all the time. Since the women are there, they didn’t find Quietness and the times when they are allowed to leave for recreation outside, or for group are rarely and irregular. This means they spend mostly 24 hours in their cells without recreation. Meanwhile they are suffering from enormous stress, which has already physical and mental effects. Please, sign the petition and help us to move the women to another unit or back to their old unit!

Please sign the petition against the Texan „Law of Parties“!
This law makes it possible to give people a death sentence that didn’t kill someone. For this purpose it is enough if the prosecution can “prove” the person backed the perpetrator up, or encouraged him to commit the crime, or they have to prove the person must have anticipate a murder would occur. This law can be expanded on countless situations and is therefore often misused, to get a basis for a conviction. In the wording of this law isn’t uniquely defined which sentence should be imposed. Therefore were excessive sentences imposed in past, which were out of proportion to the delict and that hence violate the 8. amendment of the United States of America!

Please be part of this important petition. The guys on Texas death row need our help. A few of them wish that this petition will become a big petition, because they need to rechange this rule that TDCJ only allows 2 people now at the same time visiting in the last hours before execution.
I talked with a lady whose son is on death row. She told me that she wishes that this petition will help to rechange the rule. "If the last day before the execution of my son will come, then NOONE can separate me from my son. I will sit with him the whole last hours. But TDCJ only allows now 2 visitors at once. It will be his last day, he should have the right to be with his parents, grandparents, children, family members, wife, friends. He should have the right like before, to spend his last hours with more than just 2 persons. I definitely won´t leave my son in his last hours. Noone will be able to take me and his father away from him in his last hours.” That mother said with tears in her eyes… It’s very, very important that WE change this rule to give the men and families at least a little dignity in their last hours... Please sign the petition and PLEASE spread the world with this petition... We have to change this rule again!!!!!

It has come to the pressing attention of many concerned citizens in this country, not only North Carolina, but throughout the United States of the appalling status quo of only one phone call permitted annually to Death Row inmates in North Carolina.
