IMMINENT EXECUTIONS
Two prisoners on death row in Nigeria are in danger of imminent execution. Please act quickly on this case.  The link comes up in German by default, but there is a language button to switch it  to English. There is reason to fear that despite the appeals that are still before the courts the execution may take place very soon.

EXCESSIVE FORCE AGAINST PROTESTS IN TURKEY
We ask you to show solidarity with the trade unions of Turkey and also to protest the unreasonable use of force by the government against peaceful demonstrators.
