Subject: Boilerplate UA by AI on LI


Amnesty is correct to state that they do not have the resources to
investigate and put out a separate Urgent Action for everyone here in the
United States. But they certainly have the resources to put together a
standard, boilerplate UA against Lethal Injection that they can issue when
they have decided not to particularize a UA for someone. That would serve
two functions: First, for those of us who want to mobilize against an
execution, we can use the UA. Second, it will further promote the idea that
LI constitutes torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment--the core
value of AI. So  dont take no for an answer. Keep pressuring them to draft a
standard, boilerplate UA against LI.
