Action Alert
We need your urgent help to stop the execution of Lester Pitman in Trinidad and Tobago.
On June 8, 2005, the authorities of Trinidad and Tobago issued a warrant for the
execution of Lester Pitman. He is currently scheduled to be hanged on the morning of
June 13. Amnesty International is gravely concerned that a death warrant has been
issued before Lester Pitman has exhausted all legal remedies available to him. Also
of grave concern is the government's intention to resume the use of the death
penalty in Trinidad and Tobago after five years without executions.
Please urge authorities of Trinidad and Tobago to demonstrate their respect for
justice and human life by doing everything in their power to stop the execution of
Lester Pitman.
