Voici une lettre-type pour protester contre l'usage de la chaise électrique et dénoncer l'hypocrisie de la "mort douce" par injection létale.
N'oubliez pas s'il s'agit d'un fax, de prendre une feuille de papier à en-tête avec vos coordonnées, ou de les inscrire au bas de la page. MERCI.
Dear Governor X (le nom du Gouverneur)
I write you to tell you my concerns about the electric chair which is a patent violation of the 8th Amendment denouncing "cruel and unusual punishment". I beg you, as a simple citizen who cares about Human Rights, to stop all executions by method of electrocution.
When a prisoner is put to death, is it necessary to add torture, pain and suffering to his fate?
Dear Governor, please, don't even wait for the Supreme Court's decision. STOP IT!
But I would like to ask you if you think that what is called a "humane death" -lethal injection- is really nothing more than a hypocritical way of speaking of another killing method? Could there be a "humane way" to die on the hands of a State?
Of course, the prisoner is asleep and, if everything is working well, nobody can see the storm which destroy his lungs and his heart. Inside this man's body, a dreadful hurricane leads him to agony and death.
Dear Governor, death can't be "humane, calm and serene".
Let's have a dream: the end of death penalty.
Sincerely,
