Australia: Ask Australia to help end the death penalty - ONLINE PETITION

 "In the lead-up to the recent executions in Indonesia, thousands of Australians from all corners of the community voiced their strong opposition to the death penalty. Australian leaders from all political parties made passionate pleas for mercy, right up to the eleventh hour. Tragically, the executions were carried out in spite of these efforts. The death penalty is cruel, inhuman, and unnecessary.
Australia is part of a global movement of countries which has abolished the death penalty, but we must do more. So, while Australia is grieving for our citizens and the six other people who were executed alongside them, it is up to the Australian Government to do everything in its power to ensure this does not happen again.
