Every year on 16 June, Amnesty International Zimbabwe joins the rest of Africa in commemorating the International Day of the African Child. This day honours the memory of the students who were massacred in Soweto, South Africa, for protesting against educational injustice and inequality during the apartheid regime.
To honour their courage and remember those who lost their lives, the Organisation of African Unity (now the African Union) established the Day of the African Child in 1991. The day also draws attention to the challenges, rights, and realities facing African children today.

Tennessee plans to execute Tony Carruthers on May 21 despite unresolved questions surrounding his conviction. Notably, untested fingerprint and DNA evidence could point to someone else.
Please urge TN officials to allow the evidence to be tested! https://t.co/0lxNnzPPMC

I remember #JackJones and #MarcelWilliams executed by the state of Arkansas on April 24, 2017. It was the first double execution on the same day in the US since 2000. Those men were murdered on the same gurney, hours apart, one at 7pm, the other at 10pm.

Amanda Knox gave a brilliant & thoughtful interview this morning on the Lucy Letby case on Good Morning Britain. Every criminal case deserves a throrough review to make sure we get it right. Those charged with crimes deserve that, as do victims and their families. @amamaknox950
James Broadnax faces execution on 4/30 for the murders of Stephen Swan and Matthew Butler.
In the first minute of this new video, someone else — his cousin, Demarius Cummings — confesses that he really committed these murders.

I remember #CarlBuntion executed by the state of TX on April 21, 2022. He was a model prisoner, an elderly man (78 yo) who needed a wheelchair to move around. He was no threat to anyone. His execution was an act of vengeance, not an act of justice.

"[There are] 1.5 million kids with a mom or dad in prison. They are doing time right along with that parent, and they often feel loneliness, shame, and stigma. Not today," says Prison Fellowship President and CEO @RiceMinus.
Recently in Atlanta, Prison Fellowship Angel Tree served hundreds of kids at a sports camp where they heard powerful messages of overcoming from Brandon Johnson and Terri Matthews Woodall. The gymnasium suddenly got quiet as Terri spoke truth: “You are seen by God and loved by Him. You are not an accident.”
Angel Tree relies on church partners to reach 275,000+ children of prisoners annually. Please consider registering your church here:

“The death penalty transforms the legal process into a high-pressure extraction, where the right to a jury trial is often a trap that leads straight to a coercive plea bargain.” Learn more from the @CatoInstitute below! https://t.co/EICAPixjsF
DNA evidence in #JamesDuckett’s case is inconclusive. Experts say further analysis is still possible. There is no justification for irreversible punishment without certainty.
Contact @GovRonDeSantis now and urge him to halt the execution scheduled for March 31.

The Supreme Court has denied Michael King’s application to stay tonight’s scheduled execution in Florida. https://t.co/jMZUzgoqYv @FLDeathPenalty@FADPorg@uscedp#deathpenalty
Michael King is scheduled to be executed on March 17 at 6 pm for the murder of Denise Amber Lee. Even in cases involving profound loss, the law still requires punishment to be reliable, proportionate, and constitutional. https://t.co/Kos7l4xOSW
