      After three years without an execution, Oklahoma announced today that it is moving towards reopening its death chamber for business, using asphyxiation via inert gas as its method of killing. We must fight this tooth and nail! 17 men are lined up for the state's death chamber.

      The suggestion by authorities that this new method is "more humane" ignores the fact that it is an untried method, human experimentation practiced by the state upon its citizens.

          More importantly, it ignores the unavoidable truths that there is no humane way to kill a conscious, thinking human being, and that the entire apparatus of capital punishment is deeply flawed and deeply wounding to us all.

          When it comes to the death penalty, the only humane thing is to abolish it.

          The cruelty and inhumanity of the #DeathPenalty is not only in the method of execution, but in the torture of #DeathRow itself. Nothing but abolition can fix that. See eg Pratt v Morgan https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/law-report-delayed-execution-unconstitutional-pratt-and-another-v-attorney-general-for-jamaica-and-1501813.html …
