A fantastic couple of days at @AmnestyUK Amplify Conference & National AGM.
Great to have the support of so many activists determined to bring an end to the death penalty.

A juror's reflections on the death penalty
In this engaging & personal talk, Lindy Lou Isonhood reflects on the question she's been asking herself in the 25 years since the trial: Am I a murderer?

For 124 consecutive weeks, political prisoners across Iran have continued #NoDeathPenaltyTuesdays campaign, holding a hunger strike this week in 56 prisons nationwide.
As executions surge and more prisoners face death sentences, these courageous inmates are raising their voices to stand against executions.

The court ruled that gas suffocation “presents a ‘substantial risk of serious harm’—severe pain over and above death itself.” That once would have made it unconstitutional but SCOTUS now requires prisoners to also show that another method is available to carry out the execution.

[Death Penalty Action @DeathPenaltyAct]

Even if you support the death penalty, people with intellectual disabilities should never 🙅‍♀️ be executed. The Supreme Court ruled that unconstitutional over 20 years ago.

If #EdwardBusby’s lawyers and the State of Texas agree he's intellectually disabled, why is he still facing execution on Thursday??

🪦If carried out, it will be Texas’ 600th execution in the modern era. No other state comes close.

[Amnesty International - Reading Town Group @AmnestyReading]

The death penalty is a symptom of violence, not a solution to it. President Trump & the Department of Justice should follow the lead of the more than 113 countries who have relegated this archaic & brutal sentence to the dustbin of history.

[Amnesty Iran @AmnestyIran]

The arbitrary execution of 10 dissidents and protesters in 10 days since 30 March, after grossly unfair, torture-tainted trials, underscores ongoing deadly repression Iran. The horrific escalation demands international condemnation and urgent action to halt further executions.

Anthony Todd Boyd was executed by the state of Alabama by nitrogen hypoxia. AIUSA State Death Penalty Abolition Coordinator for Alabama, Dawson Hicks, stated, “Amnesty International opposes the death penalty as a violation of the right to life and as the ultimate cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment. We will never stop working to abolish it in Alabama and around the world.”

[Amnesty Iran @AmnestyIran]

More than 1,300 people have been executed in Iran in 2025 - the highest figure recorded in decades. Thousands more are at risk as Iranian authorities continue to weaponize the death penalty. We call on the international community to take urgent action to stop this horror.

Saudi authorities today announced the execution of child defendant Abdullah al-Derazi.

He was convicted of alleged terrorism-related crimes after taking part in protests when under 18.

He faced gross abuses during his detention and trial, including torture-tainted confessions.

[ALQST for Human Rights @ALQST_En]

Yesterday #SaudiArabia's authorities executed Abdullah al-Derazi, convicted after a grossly unfair trial of “terrorist” crimes allegedly committed as a child.

He’s the second child offender executed in two months, raising grave fears for others at risk.
