NEXTA.COM – HANDS OFF CAIN AND THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT TOGETHER AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY
This is the first such campaign, promoted free of charge, by the new economy in favour of human rights and backed by Italian celebrities from the cinema, entertainment, arts, sports, fashion, music and cultural spheres. The idea originated from Nexta.com’s willingness to host a banner promoting Hands off Cain’s campaign on each of the ten websites it manages (www.sport.it, www.arte.it, www.cartoni.it, www.fumetti.it, www.turismo.it, www.moda.it, www.giochi.it, www.videomusica.it, www.film.it, www.televisione.it). The banner is an Oliviero Toscani creation, the same designer who created the We on Death Row campaign featuring American death row inmates.
At the press conference, Hands of Cain will illustrate this new project aimed to raise awareness among Internet users on the death penalty situation the world over and the proposed UN moratorium resolution.
