         On Death Row in Zambia, Central Africa
        "..Help me to fight my case.   I don't have a murder case,
          I am charged with a robbery case without any murder. "
    
Greetings from Zambia !....Let me tell you about myself, first I thank you
for putting my name on your webpage.  As you don't know, I have been
on death row for 21 years now - riding an emotional roller coaster of hell.
It has been an excrutiating time to go through.  I thought I was the longest
person on death row in the world.  But when I heard the execution of Gary Graham I was really surprised to find that he was on death row in Texas for
19 years.  A lot of people are hidden in prisons worldwide.....it seems a lot of people in North America don't know a lot about people who suffering in
prisons in Africa; when you put my name on your page you can also put
that in french, I understand the language.

...Help me to fight my case.   I don't have a murder case,
I am charged with a robbery case without any murder.  

I want you to help me have my case retrialed back at the Supreme Court of Zambia, as there is no evidence against me.  There is only hearsay.
However I did talk to a lawyer who advised me that a retrial was inevitable
if I paid him a fee.  I talked to my family to hire me a lawyer, unfortunately
my family has failed to hire me a lawyer as they are very poor.

If only I can have a lawyer I am so sure that I can win this case,
as I have been for too long on death row.

Please help me...to find someone who can help me with
financial assistance to enable me to hire a lawyer. 

I will be grateful should you respond to my message.  I am lonely here
the shadow of death is my constant source of depression to this end.

As I write this letter to you, I don't have any bathing soap, toothpaste,
toothbrush, or shaving razors - I just depend begging on fellow inmates
who are visited by their families, as I don't have anyone who comes to see me,
due to my long stay on death row.  If possible, you can send me some bathing soap, I remain to hear from you soon, may the Lord open the windows of heaven and rain his blessings on you.

Peter Cassam Kundai

Hello,
my name is Peter Cassam Kunda and I am incarcerated on death row in Kabwe, Zambia
for  21 years, riding an emotional roller-coaster of hell. I was arrested in a robbery case
(without murder) in 1980. I was just a young boy. I have grown up in a death row cell,
is has been excruciating time to go through but through the grace of God I am still alive.
I am 43 years old. I need a lawyer for my case, for a retrial. Have to confess that financial
fees have completely failed me. My family has failed to organize a lawyer for me.
I have diabetes. I hope for a pen friend who can teach me a little German.
I have a German - English dictionary and it's easy for me to read a German letter.
Would be nice if the pen friend is believing in God and we can speak about this.
I like reading history and old books and I like studying the solar system and reading poetry.
