Support LIFE not Death!!

Please sign the online petition http://www.amnesty.org.in/dp/petition.aspx
and forward it to your contacts. Lend your support to oppose death
penalty- it's time we make our voices heard by the government.


Amnesty International (AI) along with many other organisation all over
the world has been campaigning for the abolition of death penalty
worldwide since the early Seventies. We oppose the death penalty in
all cases and without exception believing it to be a violation of the
right to life and the right not to be subjected to cruel, inhuman and
degrading punishment. The death penalty legitimizes an irreversible
act of violence by the state and will inevitably claim innocent
victims, as has been persistently demonstrated.

The worldwide trend against death penalty has been gaining momentum,
with the European Union moving a resolution in the upcoming 62 nd UN
General Assembly asking for a moratorium on death penalty. The
campaign against death penalty is led by AI and World Campaign Against
Death Penalty in mobilising support in favour of the resolution.

As a part of this global campaign, AI India is organising a signature
campaign urging the Government of India to either vote in favour of
this resolution, or atleast abstain from voting.


Your vote counts!!
In Solidarity,
Amnesty International India
