Amnesty International
The death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights.
By working towards the abolition of the death penalty worldwide,
Amnesty International USA's Program to Abolish the Death Penalty looks
to end the cycle of violence created by a system riddled with economic
and racial bias and tainted by human error.
