What the petition asks
Whatever the crime, the UK government must oppose the death penalty as a matter of principle. A letter leaked to the Telegraph shows that the UK government would seek no assurances about the sentences of Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh if the pair were extradited to the US.
