Majesty:
expressing sympathy for the victims of the November 2005 bomb attacks and their families, and acknowledging that the government has a responsibility to bring those responsible to justice, but pointing out that the death penalty has never been shown to deter crime more effectively than other punishments.
urging the king to commute Sajida Rishawi Atrous's death sentence.
expressing grave concern at reports that Sajida Rishawi Atrous was tortured during interrogation, and urging the authorities to order an immediate independent judicial investigation, with the results made public and those responsible brought to justice.
reminding the authorities that everyone has a right to a fair hearing in accordance with international standards for fair trial.
welcoming the governments draft amendments which reduce the application of the death penalty and expressing the hope that this will be a step towards a moratorium on the death penalty, and eventually its complete abolition.
