Die Todesstrafe ist keine angemessene Antwort auf Mord und Kriminalität. Wo sich der Staat zum Richter über Leben und Tod aufschwingt, nimmt nicht Gerechtigkeit ihren Lauf, sondern Rache und Vergeltung.
Die Botschaft von Amnesty International lautet deshalb unmissverständlich: Staaten können nicht gleichzeitig die Menschenrechte achten und die Todesstrafe verhängen und vollstrecken.
Aus diesem Grund setzt sich Amnesty International seit über 30 Jahren gegen diese Strafe ein. Und dies mit zunehmendem Erfolg: Immer mehr Staaten schaffen diese Strafe ab. Dennoch bleibt noch viel zu tun, Jahr für Jahr werden tausende Menschen hingerichtet. (Amnesty International)

Today, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc. released a new video highlighting the racial discrimination in the Texas death penalty system and the shocking case of death-sentenced prisoner, Duane Buck. Mr. Buck was sentenced to death in Harris County (Houston), Texas, after his trial prosecutor elicited testimony from a psychologist indicating that Mr. Buck was more likely to be dangerous because he is Black. The video was produced by award-winning documentary filmmakers Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler. A Broken Promise in Texas contains powerful, never-before-seen interviews with Texas civil rights leaders, elected politicians, the surviving victim in the Buck case, one of Mr. Buck’s trial prosecutors and Mr. Buck’s family members, among others, calling for a new, fair sentencing hearing. The video’s release comes at a critical juncture, as Mr. Buck may soon be at risk of execution: the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is currently considering Mr. Buck’s appeal for a new sentencing hearing and the Court is expected to rule in the coming weeks.

We call on the Home Secretary to release Isa Muazu from detention immediately
News, 5.12.2013: The London Assembly today voted unanimously for the mayor to intervene in the Isa Muazu case
Isa Muazu, a refused asylum seeker from Nigeria, has been on hunger strike in Harmondsworth detention centre for over 85 days. His recent application to the High Court to be released failed – despite expert medical evidence in October that he was medically unfit to be detained. As he edges closer to death, the government’s response has been to issue an ‘end of life plan’ for Isa. Today’s application for interim relief was refused and Isa remains in detention. We fear that Isa might not survive until his appeal hearing on 25 November.

FREE LORENZO JOHNSON, AN INNOCENT MAN!Demand the PA Attorney General Drop the Charges, Now!
Lorenzo “Cat” Johnson was freed after 16 years in prison when a federal appeals court ruled there was insufficient evidence to convict him. This is tantamount to an acquittal. Two years ago, he was released and had four and a half months with his family, got a job and spoke out for others wrongfully convicted. Then the U.S. Supreme Court ordered his conviction reinstated.
Lorenzo went back to prison with a sentence of life imprisonment without parole.

Email to the Governor to commute the death sentence of Darius Kimbrough scheduled to be executed in Florida on Nov. 12th, 2013.
Dear Gove
rnor
Darius Kimbrough is scheduled to be executed in Florida on Nov. 12th, 2013.
I am asking you to convene the Board of Executive Clemency to commute the death sentence of Mr Darius Kimbrough, and to suspend ALL executions to conduct a thorough and public investigation into Florida’s fatally-flawed government program for the Death Penalty that has wrongfully convicted and sent AT LEAST 24 innocent people to Death Row, far more than any other state.
In accord with the Counsil of Europe and the European Union I am urging you to commute the death penalty of Mr Darius Kimbrough to life without parole.
Thank you very much
Sincerely, ………………………….

Severely mentally ill Billy Ray Irick is scheduled to be executed in Tennessee on October 7th, 2014
Governor Haslam: Do not resume executions in Tennessee
Some information:
The state of Tennessee has set Oct. 7th, 2014, as the execution date for Billy Ray Irick who was convicted of the rape and murder of seven-year-old Paula Dyer in Knoxville in 1985. Mr. Irick has suffered from severe mental illness since early childhood and spent ten months in a psychiatric hospital when he was only eight years old.
Mr Irick’s court appointed trial attorneys originally filed a notice of an insanity defense, which they later withdrew. During the duration of his trial, the only mention of his long history of mental illness came during his sentencing hearing. It was only years later that key witnesses were interviewed by Billy’s new attorneys, confirming his psychotic symptoms at the time of the crime. …

Ronald Phillips is scheduled to be executed in Ohio on Sept. 18th, 2014
Ronald Phillips is scheduled to be executed in Ohio on July 2nd, 2013 – Ohio Parole Board denies clemency – new execution drug – Ronald Pillips seeks lethal drug challenge – petition
Weil er seine Organe spenden möchte, wird sein Hinrichtungstermin verschoben. Nun sollen Ärzte überprüfen, ob er sein Anliegen in die Tat umsetzen darf.
Some few information on Ronald Philips:
Ronald Phillips wants to stop his execution for 1993 murder of 3-year-old girl
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A death row inmate who raped and killed his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter was sexually, physically and verbally abused during his childhood, according to attorneys asking the Ohio Parole Board to spare him before next month’s execution.
No judge or jury ever heard the full story of the abuse suffered by Ronald Phillips, which included being repeatedly raped and beaten by his late father, according to a document filed with the board ahead of the clemency hearing that began Wednesday morning.
“Ronald Phillips is not and was not a monster,” his attorneys said in the filing. “Ronald Phillips instead was a 19-year-old high school student, who had experienced nothing but violence, chaos, and abuse, and who learned through those life experiences that violence and abuse were the norm.”
Phillips, 40, is scheduled to die Nov. 14 for raping and killing Sheila Marie Evans in Akron in 1993 after a long period of frequently abusing her.
