Innocent man on death row in California. Featured in doc: “20 Years on Death Row”

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Close to half of the executions recorded in 2025 were the result of the intensification of highly punitive approaches in the “war on drugs”. Drug-related executions in China, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Singapore contributed to these numbers.

The death penalty has often been used by states as a show of power, and nowhere is this clearer than in the executions connected to drug offences.

However, there are still signs that the tide is changing – in 2025 Viet Nam was one of the countries that took steps away from the death penalty and abolished this cruel punishment for eight offences, including drug transportation.

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

Amnesty International has been campaigning against the death penalty for nearly 50 years.

Over the years, our global movement has tirelessly campaigned against the death penalty and the world has witnessed a global progressive trend towards abolition.

However, a small, isolated group of states were still willing to carry out executions in 2025 in defiance of international law.

Fingerprints on the murder weapon don’t match Richard.
They don’t match the victim either.
And Florida still plans to execute him this week.
This is exactly why the death penalty is dangerous.

☎️ Call 850-717-9337: "Turn back now, Florida."

We condemn the execution of Malaysian Lingkesvaran Rajendaren in #Singapore on 11 Feb. Several violations of int'l #humanrights law+ standards in his case render the execution unlawful and arbitrary

After 40 years on California's death row, Kevin Cooper alleges that evidence in his 1983 murder conviction was tampered with. His attorneys now seek to prove racial bias in his charging and sentencing decisions.

#California spends billions $ on the #deathpenalty & thankfully hasn’t executed anyone in 2 decades.
Research shows #deathpenalty does NOT deter crime.
It’s time to #CommuteTheRow & invest in real public safety solutions. #HumanRights

ACLU of Southern California criticizes LA County DA Nathan Hochman's first year in office, accusing him of expanding incarceration and eroding racial justice protections. The report highlights concerns over reinstated death penalty and opposition to diversion programs.

New ACLU report reveals wrongful convictions, particularly among Black men, are a systemic issue in the US death penalty system. The report cites recurring patterns of misconduct and suggests abolishing the death penalty to prevent such errors.

Public support for the death penalty is at a 50-year low. Why are policymakers in Ohio considering inhumane nitrogen gas executions?

Elwood Jones was freed from Ohio's death row in 2023 after a Cincinnati judge found that prosecutors withheld thousands of pages of evidence from his trial lawyers, including a reported confession to the murder by another man. https://t.co/mT5U5uB5Xy

After 32 years of wrongful incarceration — 27 of them on death row for a crime that never occurred — Jimmie Chris Duncan is finally free. Let’s help him get back on his feet.

Today at 6 p.m. ET, the State of Florida is scheduled to execute Mark Geralds for the 1989 murder of Tressa Pettibone. If carried out, Geralds’ execution will continue a year in which Florida has executed more people than in any other year in state history, raising deep concerns about the fairness, transparency, and speed of the state’s death-penalty machinery. https://t.co/baAT32Yos1

🚨 This week: Florida, Oklahoma, and South Carolina plan to execute three men.

⚠️ One is a veteran.
⚠️ One never killed anyone.
⚠️ One will face a firing squad.

Call on Governors DeSantis, McMaster, and Stitt:
Turn back now — there is already too much blood on your hands.
