Dear Minister
Dear President
Dear Chairman,
I am outraged to learn that the Lhasa Intermediate People’s Court in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) has sentenced four Tibetans to death and one Tibetan to life imprisonment, as reported by Xinhua on 8 April. 
I understand that Lobsang Gyaltsen (Losang Gyaltse) and Loyak have been sentenced to death without a reprieve, and I call for an immediate stay of execution and an independent inquiry into their cases.
I am gravely concerned for Tenzin Phuntsok and Kangtsuk (Gangtsu) who have also been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, and for Dawa Sangpo who has been sentenced to life imprisonment. 
These individuals were denied their basic legal rights, and the trials were not conducted in accordance with international judicial standards. 
I call on the Chinese government to immediately halt these executions and reverse these unjust sentences.
I call on you to ensure that Losang Gyaltse and Loyar have access to their family, legal representation of their own choice and any medical attention they may require.
Further I urge the National People’s Congress to introduce a legal procedure for clemency. 
And I urge you to ensure that China's courts respect the most rigorous internationally recognized standards for fair trial, including the UN safeguards guaranteeing the protection of the rights of those facing the death penalty, which require adequate opportunity for defence and appeal;
Last of all I would ask you to establish an immediate moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty. 
Death penalty is widely practiced in your country. It is a well know fact that China executes more people each year than any other country in the world. Based on figures from your own officials it is estimated that more than six thousand people were executed in 2008.
In order for China to improve its international standing it would be highly recommendable to abolish this ominous practice of death penalty and executions altogether.
The sentences of these Tibetans have received world-wide attention and I call on the Supreme People's Court to overturn the decision. If, however, the Court decides to order a retrial, then I urge that the trial is held in a fair and transparent manner, in accordance with international standards.
The right to a fair trial is a fundamental human right and an essential component of the administration of criminal justice. This right is part of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which China signed in 1998.
Yours faithfully,
