@amnesty-usa.bsky.socialToday is World Day Against the Death Penalty. More than 550 people are under sentence of death in California, over a quarter of all death sentences in the U.S. Governor Newsom leaves office in January 2027. It’s time for him to commute them. Read the full blog below.
@amnesty-usa.bsky.socialThis is an attack on the very possibility of holding those responsible for the gravest crimes accountable under international law, no matter how powerful they may be. What is at stake is not only the future of the Court, but the future of international justice itself.

@amnesty-usa.bsky.socialThe death penalty is a violation of human rights, no matter what.
Livestreaming the taking of a life by firing squad would only compound the cruelty of this inhuman punishment.
