CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: BERMUDA

LETTER FROM AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

1. The attached letter from the Director of Amnesty International

asks the Secretary of State to exert whatever influence he can

to bring about the commutation of the Bermuda death sentences.

2. This is very similar to the petition from Mr Stanley Newens MP and others on which we submitted today.

3.

I recommend that the Secretary of State should reply on

similar lines to his reply to Mr Newens and I submit a draft

letter.
