Marco Pannella, leader of the Radical Party, Founder and President of Hands Off Cain, died in Rome yesterday at the age of 86, after a long illness.
He conceived, with Hands Off Cain, the battle for a universal moratorium on executions. The plan had its first major success in 2007, with the majority vote of the UN resolution against the death penalty.
