URGENT ACTION
Ihar Hershankou and Siamion Berazhnoy were convicted and sentenced to death by the Mahiliou Regional Court, in eastern Belarus, on 21 July 2017.
Theirs are the 2nd and 3rd death sentences imposed in Belarus in 2017.
Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:
* Urging the Prosecutor General to withdraw the death penalty as a sentencing option for Ihar Hershankou and Siamion Berazhnoy, and all others on death row;
* Stress that whilst we are not seeking to downplay the seriousness of the crime, research shows that the death penalty does not have a unique deterrent effect and is the ultimate denial of human rights;
* Calling on the President to introduce an immediate moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty
Friendly reminder: If you send an email, please create your own instead of forwarding this one!
