"We never thought that the person who killed Maria Grazia could be condemned to capital punishment. This won't give us back our daughter,'' Agata D'Amore said commenting on the death sentence issued in Kabul on November 20 to Reza Khan, 29, after being convicted of killing her daughter and three other journalists.
<br>“As Christians, we are always against the death penalty,” she added.
<br>Hands of Cain Secretary, Sergio D’Elia, backed the statements made by Agata D'Amore: “The mother of the murdered journalist speaks with great humanity, made more significant by the fact she has been hit so closely to heart. We agree with her views that justice should be done without resorting to the extreme act of eliminating from the face of the earth the man accused of killing her daughter. <br>We hope the Italian government will convey to the Afghani authorities the views expressed by the mother of Maria Grazia Cutuli.”
