Joint Open Letter to the President of Sri Lanka on the imminent resumption of executions

23 July 2019
World Coalition Against the Death Penalty

In this joint open letter, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, alongside 58 other co-signing organisations, express their grave concern at the announcement that four executions are scheduled to be carried out imminently in Sri Lanka. The letter calls on the Sri Lanka President to halt plans to resume the implementation of the death penalty in the country for the first time in more than 40 years, and establish an official moratorium on all executions as a first step towards abolition.

The full letter is available here.
