I sent a letter to #Tennessee Governor Bill Lee asking him to commute the death penalty sentence of #ChristaPike & grant her clemency. Read the @amnestyusa description of her case & take action. https://t.co/RaZP0oEOsX #deathpenalty #CapitalPunishment

🕯️For the 17th consecutive year, the USA was the only country in the Americas to execute people.

🕯️Nearly 1,950 people in the U.S. were on death row at the end of 2025. As of May 2026, over 550 people have death sentences in California. That's more than 25% of all people with death sentences in the entire U.S.

🕯️Governor Newsom has the power to directly grant clemency for about 40% of those with death sentences in California. He can ask the state Supreme Court to recommend commuting the death sentences for the others.

➡️ Take action and tell Governor Newsom to commute all death sentences in California: https://t.co/4cYqs375fS

Amnesty has been calling for exactly this kind of action. Child safety must be built into platforms from the start, not added as an afterthought once harms are identified.

Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin

Yesterday, the Israeli Knesset passed with a whopping 93-0 majority, a new law authorizing use of the death penalty for individuals if convicted of involvement in the 7 Oct attacks, just a month after it adopted a discriminatory death penalty law in effect applying exclusively to Palestinians.

The new law mandates the creation of an ad hoc tribunal, effectively acting as a military court, with sweeping powers to deviate from standard procedural rules and evidentiary laws if “deemed necessary”. This is deeply alarming given that proceedings against alleged 7 Oct attackers are already marred by due process violations including prolonged detention without charge or trial, denial of access to lawyers and independent monitors and reports of widespread use of torture and other ill-treatment.

Those responsible for crimes under international law committed on 7 October must be held accountable through fair, independent and transparent trials in line with international law and standards - without resorting to the death penalty.

This law not only entrenches an inherently cruel and irreversible punishment, it erodes fundamental legal safeguards, blatantly breaches Israel’s international obligations and runs counter to the global trend towards the abolition of capital punishment the death penalty.
