致法務大臣：

衷心地促請日本政府:

• 立即終止死刑以達到法律中禁止使用死刑的條款
• 開始實施即時、獨立的案子復審，以顯示有可信的證據指出囚犯患有精神病
• 確保在審判前向各囚犯提供一套完善的醫學評估
• 改善死囚的生活環境，包括停止會令精神病進一步惡化的日常隔離

 敬安

Dear Minister Chiba,

I respectfully urge the Government of Japan to:

• Immediately introduce a moratorium on executions with a view to reviewing laws which permit the use of the death penalty,
• Initiate an immediate independent review of cases where there is credible evidence that prisoners may be mentally ill,
• Ensure that prisoners are given proper medical assessments prior to their trials, and
• Improve conditions for prisoners under sentence of death, including ending routine isolation, which may lead to progressive mental deterioration.

Yours sincerely,
