China: Stop the Executions!

We've just learned that China has sentenced two Tibetans, Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak, to death for their alleged involvement in last year's protests in Lhasa. Two others, Phuntsok and Kangtsuk, were also sentenced to death but with a two year reprieve, and Dawa Sangpo was sentenced to life imprisonment.

These harsh sentences signal an alarming escalation in the Chinese government's campaign to punish and intimidate Tibetans who dare to speak out against Chinese rule.

Please help us stop the executions! Send the letter below to the Chinese government calling for an immediate stay of execution and an independent inquiry into their cases.

Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yang Jiechi
Minister of Justice, Wu Aiying

Below is the sample letter:

Subject: Stop the exeucutions.

Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],

I am outraged to learn that the Chinese government has sentenced four Tibetans to death and one Tibetan to life imprisonment.

I understand that Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak have been sentenced to death without a reprieve, and I call for an immediate stay of execution and an independent inquiry into their cases.

I am gravely concerned for Tenzin Phuntsok and Kangtsuk who have also been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, and for Dawa Sangpo who has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

These individuals were denied their basic legal rights, and the trials were not conducted in accordance with international judicial standards.

The Chinese government has responded to last year's protests with extreme violence, and these harsh sentences are a blatant attempt to further intimidate Tibetans from speaking out against Chinese rule.

I call on the Chinese government to immediately halt these executions and reverse these unjust sentenc es.

I will be notifying my government representatives about this situation, and I will urge them to take strong action to condemn this travesty of justice.

Sincerely,

http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/stoptheexecutions?rk=Xde01KSqQCzbE
