1) TAKE ACTION
Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:

- Calling on them to end Ahmed Amin Ghazali Amin’s solitary confinement, ensuring he is held in humane conditions and protected from torture and other ill-treatment, and granted access to adequate medical care.
- Urging them to establish an official moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty.
