Right now, across the globe, heads of state are increasingly disregarding international law and ignoring human rights. But we won’t let the abuse of state power erase human rights – we'll continue fighting injustice 👊 – 🧵

“The death penalty remains unpopular and practiced by a very small number of states. In those states, you see an increased willingness to do whatever it takes to carry out executions. The result is we’re more likely to see executions go wrong.” theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
