Thanks Karim, I have sent a message to Gordon Brown urging him to plead with the Chinese Government. I urge others to add their voice to this campaign.

Less than a week to save Akmal Shaikh


Akmal ShaikhDear Supporter,
Akmal Shaikh is facing imminent execution in China. There are reports that his execution has been scheduled for 29 December 2009.

Akmal, who is 53 and a father of five from north London, is believed to be mentally ill. He was sentenced to death for drug-smuggling on 29 October 2008 after an unfair trial. 

Although he appears to have suffered for many years with mental instability and is likely to have bipolar disorder, the Chinese authorities have refused to allow him to be examined by a doctor. According to Article 18 of China's Criminal Law, a mental patient who commits a crime, and has not completely lost the ability to recognise or control his own conduct at the time, still has criminal responsibility but may be given a lighter punishment.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Call on Gordon Brown to urgently intervene on Akmal Shaikh's behalf.

Please write your own appeal or copy the text below and send a message via the Downing Street website.

Dear Prime Minister,
As you know Akmal Shaikh, a British national is facing execution in China on 29 December 2009. The Chinese legal system has not taken into account his serious mental illness. I am appealing to you directly to make immediate representations to China's President Hu Jintao.
