✊ 10 OCTOBRE : JOURNÉE MONDIALE CONTRE LA PEINE DE MORT ✊

Cette 23e édition rappelle que « la peine de mort ne protège personne ».

Aucune étude ne prouve son effet dissuasif : au contraire, les pays abolitionnistes enregistrent souvent des taux de criminalité plus faibles.

#NoDeathPenalty
✊ 10 OCTOBRE : 23e JOURNÉE MONDIALE CONTRE LA PEINE DE MORT ✊

La Journée mondiale a pour but de sensibiliser à la thématique de l’abolition, de rassembler les acteur·ices du mouvement abolitionniste et de soutenir les actions des organisations de la société civile partout dans le monde.
