ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û Petition to IACHR on Missouri and Oklahoma Executions that Will Violate International Law
The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û filed a petition with the Organization of American States' Inter-American Commission on Human Rights showing that the upcoming executions by lethal injection in Missouri and Oklahoma will violate international law against cruel and unusual punishment, should they go forward. The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û asks that the executions be stopped until the IACHR can conduct independent investigations of the two cases.
