The #DeathPenalty is always inadmissible, because it attacks the inviolability and dignity of the person. I appeal for its abolition in all countries of the world. We must not forget that a person can repent and change, even up until the very last moment of their life.

Kenneth Smith will be the first human being in the United States put to death using nitrogen gas, a method that is not based on any scientific evidence.
Alabama should stop Smith’s execution and scrap the death penalty completely. bit.ly/3U8gPeX

URGENT! We are at a critical juncture of actual life and death. @AGJeffLandry + some DAs thwarted the legitimate death row clemency process.
But @LouisianaGov can turn this around.
TODAY: Call & ask him to use his power to hold hearings! (225)342-7015

Jessie Misskelley, @CharlesJBaldwin and @DamienEchols — known as the #WestMemphisThree— have been trying to clear their names for 30 years. Advances in DNA testing could lead to the identification of the person or people who actually committed the crime.

17 years ago today, Robert Clark was exonerated after serving 24 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Robert is pictured here on the day of his exoneration. Robert, we can never tire of celebrating this triumph with you. Happy Freedom Anniversary!

Over the phone, McLaughlin conducts her side of the conversation in short, soft-spoken replies.
About the death penalty, she says, "It's cruel and unusual punishment. Nobody deserves to be executed like this." 😢

🧵Forty years ago today- December 7, 1982 -Texas resumed executions by carrying out the nation’s first lethal injection. Our dear friend Rev. Carroll Pickett, who passed away earlier this year, was the chaplain at the “Walls” Unit in Huntsville and bore witness to that execution.
