Your Excellency,
The Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA), the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and our member organization the Taiwan Association for Human Rights (TAHR) write to you today to express our grave concern on the resumption of executions under the death penalty in Taiwan. According to national media reports , 10 death row prisoners will be executed after 10 October 2011, the National Day of the Republic of China and ironically, also the World Day against the Death Penalty.
