February 2025
Here is the death penalty report for mid January to mid February thanks to group member Lesley for the work in compiling it. It is quite long! That is partly due to a lot of activity in America where executions are proceeding apace and the various executive orders being issued by President Trump.
Another event is the call for the return of the death penalty in the UK particularly by the Reform party. This occurs after a particular murder or murders in this case the dreadful murders of three little girls in Southport last year. Amnesty’s position is that it is never right to inflict a death sentence on someone, it does not act as a deterrent and mistakes cannot be put right if there is a wrongful conviction.
Amnesty in Salisbury & South Wiltshire 
Hello Welland 2,
I recently made contact with you at Salisbury Group re potentially dovetailing campaigning in regards to specifically Oklahoma and the Amnesty Anti Capital Punishment Campaign(we recently ‘adopted ‘Oklahoma in this respect..please find a copy attached of the letter I sent to Governor Kevin Stitt in December!) I was thinking that we might be able to coordinate on scheduling contact with the authorities in Oklahoma…also with the potential ,too, to work in partnership with the’ Oklahoma Coalition Against the Death Penalty?’
Of course , you may wish to carry on with solely campaigning as a group?..if so, no umbrage taken this side…
Look forward to hearing from you…
Many thanks
Regards
