by German Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty

We are mourning Dr. Stefanie Locker-Beland who passed away suddenly on 10th August 2000. Steffi was a friend to many – she worked tirelessly against the death penalty with never ending energy and major personal commitment.

She tried to move mountains, to make the impossible possible and to give hope. She was a voice for those who never had been listened to and a light in the darkness of injustice and despair.

During her long standing dedication to Amnesty International and her incessant work as the speaker of the board of The German Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Steffi gave everything. We will never forget her confidence, her strength and her love, and her visions will be a message for us.
