The state of Texas is set to execute Lonnie Johnson on July 24, for the August 1990 murders of Gunar Nelson Fulk and Leroy McCaffrey.

The state of Texas should not execute Lonnie Johnson for his role in this crime. Executing Johnson would violate the right to life as declared in the Universal Declaration of Human rights and constitute the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. Furthermore, Johnson claims that he only killed Fulk and McCaffrey out of self-defense.

Please write to Gov. Rick Perry on behalf of Lonnie Johnson!
