This is a dark time in US capital punishment. The dominant method of execution, lethal injection, is broken. Yet through his executive order on the death penalty, President Trump has sent a strong signal to states to push forward with executions.

“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.”

In Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦- The use of the death penalty is escalating at record rates, with child defendants in the Gulf Kingdom still at risk of execution, despite a Royal decree supposedly ending the death penalty for childhood crimes in 2020.

In North East Syria – men, women and children remain unlawfully detained in camps and prisons, with many abandoned by their governments and left to live in life-threatening and inhumane conditions.
They have not been charged with a crime, making their detention unlawful.

Holding these leaders accountable extends to the🇬🇧.
Brits with foreign ties can have their citizenship taken by the UK Government. It creates a 2-tier citizenship regime that discriminates against ethnic minorities & those with foreign heritage; it's fundamentally racist.

These commutations cap a troubling year of executions in the US with a moment of common sense. The death penalty is a costly, ineffective punishment that merely perpetuates a cycle of violence 🧵

The 37 people spared today only represent a small percentage of the total death row population in the US, but by commuting their sentences, the Biden administration has put down a marker in the long, slow decline of this outdated punishment.

Reprieve US analysed every botched lethal injection execution in the modern era. Our report found that racial disparities in US capital punishment extend into the execution chamber, with Black prisoners twice as likely to suffer a botched execution.
