China: Stop the Executions!

On April 8th, China sentenced two Tibetans, Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak, to death for their alleged involvement in last year's protests in Lhasa. Without a reprieve, they could be executed at any time.

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 take action to help save the lives of Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak! Send the letter below to the Chinese government calling for an immediate stay of execution. Tell me more

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

I am outraged to learn that on April 8, the Chinese government sentenced Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak to death without a reprieve. I call for an immediate stay of execution and an independent inquiry into their cases.

Several others have also received harsh prison sentences, including Tenzin Phuntsok and Kangtsuk (sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve), Dawa Sangpo (life imprisonment), and three Tibetan women in their early twenties, Penkyi (death sentence with a two-year reprieve), Penkyi (life imprisonment), and Chime Lhamo (10 years in prison).

This recent wave of convictions is part of your government's ongoing and violent campaign to punish and intimidate any Tibetan who dares to speak out against Chinese rule.

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

I join people worldwide in calling for an immediately halt to the executions of Lobsang Gyatlsen and Loyak. I further call on you to reverse their sentences and all those unjustly sentenced by the Chinese government.

I will continue to monitor these cases closely and will urge my government representatives to take strong action to condemn this travesty of justice.

Sincerely,
