* Age at time of first sentencing.
The twelve nuns are Prisoners of Conscience who have been imprisoned
solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs. I am also deeply
concerned at reports that the nuns have been ill-treated while in
prison. You have the opportunity to show the world that you respect
human rights. Please do so by immediately releasing the aforementioned
nuns.
Finally, I request information regarding the above individuals current
conditions, and any action you may already be taking to protect them and other victims of human rights violation in Tibet to be sent to:
Amnesty International Group 133,
251 Albany Street,
Cambridge, MA, USA 02139.
Thank you for your time and concern in this matter of utmost importance.
Sincerely
(your name)
