A terribly abused woman is about to be executed for killing her abuser

Amnesty are championing her cause to try to apply pressure to the Chinese government. Please sign. (It's Australian Amnesty so your phone no. and postcode prob. won't work, but the email addy is sufficient by itself.)

The bastard had actually cut her finger off. She'd appealed to the police for help - they'd done nothing whatsoever.

Signed, shared & texted. Poor woman, I can't imagine what she's been through

Angelico · 01/02/2013 19:33

Bump.

tribpot · 01/02/2013 19:54

Signed and shared. I'd imagine China intends to take shag all notice of international (or local) pressure but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Thinking of Li Yan and her family.

NotAQueef · 01/02/2013 20:02

Done. Does anyone know if these amnesty campaigns ever work?
I have signed a couple of these in the past which were unfortunately unsuccessful

DoctorAnge · 01/02/2013 21:45

Done - poor Woman she has suffered

a wee bump.

Homebird8 · 02/02/2013 05:17

According to BBC Radio4 she asked and asked and asked for help and got none. Killed him by accident defending herself and is now sentenced to death and the appeal did not overturn the decision.

Just Another bump please sign!

NotGoodNotBad · 02/02/2013 09:19

Doesn't work for me (invalid postcode)?

Goldensunnydays81 · 02/02/2013 09:52

I didn't put the postcode in and it worked

NotGoodNotBad · 02/02/2013 09:54

Ah, that did it, thanks Golden.

edam · 02/02/2013 10:01

Horrifying - the poor woman.
Would love to sign but Amnesty's website has a fault and rejects my phone number and postcode, even though both are accurate. I've tried mobile and landline and both get rejected.

edam · 02/02/2013 10:02

Thanks Golden, it worked when I took out postcode and phone number.

Lesbeadiva · 02/02/2013 10:05

Edam I just put my name and email in. You do not need to enter a phone number, mine went through. Poor woman.

Uppermid · 02/02/2013 10:08

I took out postcode and added +44 to my phone number to show in uk.

LittleChimneyDroppings · 02/02/2013 11:32
