ACIJLP calls upon H.E. Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi, President of Republic of Libya to exert personal expedite intervention to the relevant Libyan Authorities to suspend the death sentence against Fadl Ismael Hatita and Haitham El Shahat Abdel Qawy, currently detained in Beni Ghazi Prison and isolated on July 27th, 2009 in preparation for their execution.
It’s worth mentioning that Fadl Ismael Hatita – according to a statement by Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – has obtained a concession against blood money of L.E. 20.000 and such statement was sent to the Prosecutor General of Libya who refused to take into account.
Moreover, the negotiation and reconciliation measures are conducted under the sponsorship of several Lybian institutions, such as (Gaddafi international charity and development foundation – Waatasemu Charity Association. – ACIJLP) and under the wise instructions of H.E. President Gaddafi on abolishing death penalty.
ACIJLP hopes that the death sentence will be postponed until the end of negotiation and reconciliation measures and until the sentenced to death benefit from the efforts of the aforesaid civil society institutions exerted in this regard.
Finally, ACIJLP calls upon H.E. the President to activate the provision No. 6/4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Anyone sentenced to death shall have the right to seek pardon or commutation of the sentence. Amnesty, pardon or commutation of the sentence of death may be granted in all cases).
