Hence Amnesty’s requests: "release all conscientious prisoners, including Ye Guozhu, Hu Jia, Yang Chunlin and any other person that is in prison just for having peacefully expressed their opinions; prevent the police from arbitrarily arresting people who submit petitions, human rights activists and any other person as part of their pre-Olympic ‘cleansing’ campaign; publish full nationwide statistics on the enforcement of death penalty; work to reduce the number of crimes (especially non-violent ones) and introduce a moratorium on death penalty, in line with Resolution 62/149 of the UN General Assembly adopted on December 18th 2007; give free access and full freedom of the press to Chinese and foreign journalists all over China"; provide "information on all the people killed or arrested during the protests in Tibet last March", and "make sure all the people arrested for their peaceful involvement in the protests will be released and all the others will undergo a fair trial". ” ” ” “
