Senegal abolishes Death Penalty
12 December 2004
Amnesty International welcomed the adoption by the Senegalese National Parliament of the bill abolishing the death penalty.
The Organization called upon all the ECOWAS and other African countries to follow the example of Senegal and respect what so called( Fundamental Right to Live).
It is known that the International Organization, based in London, severely criticizes all the countries "specially those of the third world" still applying death penalties.
Lately, Amnesty International has been actively campaigning for the abolition of the death penalty as it is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment that severely violates Human Rights.
