Today is #WorldDayAgainstTheDeathPenalty

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

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. https://t.co/z5uFxl74f4
