Dear friends: From Chile. Last July, after thirteen years of trial- ALEJANDRO SCHAYMAN KLEIN, abuser and parricide, was condemned life imprisonment for his crimes. He escaped to Bolivia, and he has been reported living in Sucre by Interpol. After two months and thirteen days, on October 13, Supreme Court of Chile appro...ved the extradition request of this criminal to be sendt by Chilean Foreing Ministry to Bolivian Government, and it has not been done yet. Every nation has the duty to "remove obstacles" that might hinder the human right to justice; and as we have seen in this case, Chilean authorities have selves-made "the time" as the greatest obstacle to reach justice. We appeal to Amnesty International representative in Chile to ask Chilean Government about this case, and about the status of children human rigths in our country.Read more

Amnesty International UK Hi all, we have an urgent death penalty case - Khristian Oliver is facing execution today. The jury at his trial used the Bible to decide his sentence, including text supporting the death penalty, calling into serious question their impartiality.

Please send a fax now to the governor of Texas as soon as you can. http://bit.ly/4rxOZa

The US continues its retarded practices and outdated beliefs into the modern day and will continue to do so in the face of evidence and facts to the contrary;.

Other countries that have long since moved onward and upward.

The man should probably have been in prison for life. Regardless of how one feels about the ethics, there are simply greater punishments than death or torture in allowing the transgressor to survive. ... Read more

As long as those in power continue to favour financing punishing people over looking at the causes of crime and trying to sort out the roots, there will always be money going into that industry.
