Your Excellency,
My name is Ole Koksvik. I am a Norwegian citizen, an Australian Permanent Resident, a PhD Candidate at the Australian National University and a member of Amnesty International.
It has come to my attention that Sakineh Mohammadi is at risk of being stoned, having been convicted for “adultery while being married".
I am writing to urge you to ensure that Sakineh Mohammadi is not executed. Execution is the ultimate cruel and inhuman punishment; it is a punishment which is never justified, and certainly not in the case at hand.
I further call on you to ensure that an immediate and effective moratorium is imposed on executions by stoning and the use of other forms of execution and cruel and inhuman punishments, including flogging.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and to consider my concerns.
Sincerely yours
Ole Koksvik
