The situation for civilians in the #MiddleEast is getting worse by the day.

Today marks the #WorldDayAgainstDeathPenalty, a day to reflect on human dignity and the right to life for all. It reminds us that justice through killing is not the answer. Together, we stand for justice rooted in the rule of law and universal respect for #humanrights. UN Human Rights calls for abolishing the death penalty because: ➡ It is incompatible with the right to life and human dignity. ➡ Judicial errors can lead to wrongful executions. ➡ It doesn’t effectively deter crime. The death penalty has no place in a society that values human dignity. Human rights are for everyone, everywhere. They are non-negotiable. #EndExecutions
