Malian NGO to launch anti-death penalty campaign
Amnesty Mali is to launch a nationwide campaign to press for the abolition
of the death sentence in the country, the rights group said here Friday.
Organisers said the campaign expected to run through 10 October, marking
the 4th World Day against the death penalty, is under the theme: "Death
penalty, the failure of justice."
The campaign would seek to raise public awareness against the consequences
of capital punishment in Mali.
Organisers said it would feature a national debate to be broadcast on
several local radio stations in Bamako.
