Wednesday, 21 October 2009

Update 21.10.2009: UN COMMITTEE: DO NOT EXECUTE YUZEPCHUK!

The UN Human Rights Committee registered Vasily Yuzepchuk's case on 12 October, and called on the Belarusian government not to execute him until the Committee has considered his case. That day, the Supreme Court sent written notification to Vasily Yuzepchuk that it had rejected his appeal against his death sentence. Once he receives this notification, Vasily Yuzepchuk has 10 days to apply for clemency from President Alyaksandr Lukashenka. It is not known whether he has yet received the notification.

Please send appeals immediately to President Lukashenka urging him to grant clemency to Vasily Yuzepchuk and not to execute Vasily Yuzepchuk while his case is under consideration by the UN Human Rights Committee.
