Seeing a child with a noose around their neck would make anyone turn away in horror. It\u2019s not something most people imagine is still happening. But it\u2019s likely there are hundreds of prisoners on death rows around the world who were detained as children \u2013 potentially as many as 800 in Pakistan alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thousands of Reprieve supporters have already taken action to save the life of\u00a0 Ali Al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia – and many more facing execution after attending political protests when they were children. Now we want to make sure other kids like them never end up on the world\u2019s death rows. Here\u2019s how we\u2019re going to do it together.<\/p>\n

\"2015_09_18_INT<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re launching our dedicated Juveniles on Death Row Project \u2013 to find those detained as children who are now languishing on death row, and stop their executions. Together we can save many lives, but we urgently need extra funds to get this new project off the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

URGENT: Help us stop death sentences for children<\/h2>\n

All donations to Reprieve are being matched and will make twice the difference<\/strong><\/p>\n

Act now – double your donation, double your impact.<\/p>\n

Donate now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We know what a huge difference we can make on the ground, so your support right now will go a long way. Recently, a prisoner in Malawi was freed on the day of his court hearing after Reprieve staff found that his mental health assessment listed his age as 17, and even took place on the children’s wing. He had been sentenced to death after the police beat him and forced him to sign a forged \u2018confession\u2019.<\/p>\n

But cases like this often just fall through the cracks \u2013 unless we\u2019re there to pick them up. With the funds we raise right now, we can work with our local partners to locate juveniles who are facing execution, investigate their cases and provide lawyers to take their cases to court. We can expose countries where children are being sentenced to death. We can save lives right now, and together we can apply public and legal pressure to stop it for good.<\/p>\n

Our Juveniles on Death Row Project is new and will be entirely funded by our supporters. Will you join those taking the lead in getting this project off the ground by making a donation now?<\/h2>\n

Donate Now<\/a><\/p>\n

If you make a donation right now, it will be doubled and make twice the difference.<\/p>\n

All prisoners facing execution are at risk of extreme human rights abuses, but children are particularly vulnerable and in need of our help. They often face torture to extract false confessions and being put on trial for their life without proper legal representation. They end up on death row in adult prisons where conditions are brutal. They face years on death row, then the hangman\u2019s noose or the executioner\u2019s sword.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyone who cares about justice will agree that death row is no place for any child \u2013 so let\u2019s make sure we stop it for good.<\/p>\n

We have the law and public opinion on our side. The execution of people arrested as children is banned under international law and even domestic law in many countries \u2013which gives us the chance to save lives right now and reduce execution rates worldwide.<\/p>\n

We know we can make a difference when we\u2019re on the ground \u2013 and with your donations our Juveniles on Death Row Project can get our team to the frontline and increase our presence where we\u2019re needed most.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who is donation right now to help make this happen.<\/p>\n

Matched Funding \u2013 how it works<\/h2>\n

A group of Reprieve\u2019s generous supporters have put together a pot of \u00a330,000 to match any donations to Reprieve up to that amount \u2013 meaning that we can raise a total of \u00a360,000 to fund our work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s simple \u2013 the more donations we receive, the more of the matched fund we will get, and the more people we can help.<\/p>\n
