Legislative Council

Hong Kong

Denmark, 7 July 1991

Dear Sir,

As a member of Amnesty International concerned about the existence of the death penalty in different parts of the world, I was very pleased when I received the news about the Legislation Council ́s adoption of a motion calling for the death penalty in Hong Kong to be abolished.

AswAmnesty International opposes the death penalty because it constitutes a violation of the right to life, I would most gratefully like to thank you for your effort to ensure that the death penalty is abolished in Hong Kong. It is with great confidence that I look forward for the motion to be put into legislation.

Yours respectfully

Claus Ventry
