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. bit.ly/3U8gPeX

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.
