Case of ZarJan, his brother Abdul Wahid and Reza Khan.
Your Excellency,
Amnesty international informed me about the case of Zar , his brother Wahid and Reza Khan.
That is why I call you on to use your powers under Afghan law to commute the death sentences of Zar Jan, his brother Abdul Wahid and Reza Khan immediately.
Furthermore I call for an immediate moratorium on all executions in the country, in line with worldwide trends to abolish the death penalty with a view to an eventual abolition of the death penalty.
Additionally I would like to ask for details of their trial proceedings, including seeking assurances they had access to adequate legal representation in accordance with international standards.
Finally I would like to state that Amnesty International recognizes the rights and responsibilities of governments to bring to justice those suspected of criminal offences, but unconditionally opposes the death penalty as the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.
Trusting in betterness of menkind,
Yours sincerely,
