DEATH PENALTY: THE NOBEL PEACE LAUREATES STAND FOR THE UN MORATORIUM

it was held yesterday in Rome a meeting with Nobel Peace Laureates, promoted by Hands Off Cain and the Radical Party, in support of the fifth UN Resolution for the universal moratorium on executions, on which the General Assembly is called to vote on the 18th of December.
The event, sponsored by the Permanent Secretariat of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, was attended by Emma Bonino, Marco Pannella and Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi and Mairead Corrigan Maguire.
The Iranian Shirin Ebadi has made a merciless description of the Mullah regime. “It is impossible to reconcile with such regime, until remains the absolute power of the Supreme Leader, who lays down the law on political, institutional and social matters... his power is beyond the President in turn, whether him a reformer or a conservative. "
"Under the presidency of the 'moderate' Hassan Rohani, executions have soared and have been at least 870 this year," said Ebadi, who has denounced as "among those executed are also women, children under 18 years, and political opponents ".
"Justice can not degrade in revenge," said Mairead Corrigan Maguire, who added that "compassion and tolerance should be translated into political action and legal norms."
"The death penalty - continued Corrigan Maguire - is not only in Iran, it is also in the United States, where they practice it not only in the “legal” form, but also with other lethal means, such as drones."
In conclusion, the Northern Irish Nobel appealed to the "non-violence as a form of struggle for radical changes ... We must not be afraid or suffer those regimes that deny our values: respect for life and human dignity, the right to truth and knowledge. "
