MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM EXECUTION FOR TEENAGE INMATE TURNED LAWYER

The first time Hafez Ibrahim faced a firing squad was in 2005. He was taken to a small yard in a Yemeni prison and brought before a row of officers with rifles in hand. He thought that moment would be his last.
Hafez had written a will. His only thought was of the trauma his mother would suffer when she heard the news of his execution.
But just before he was about to be shot, he was taken back to his cell, with no explanation.
“I was lost, I did not understand what was happening. I later learned that Amnesty International had called on the Yemeni President to stop my execution and the message was heard,” Hafez said.

[Human Rights Watch]Egypt: Shocking death sentences follow sham trial
EGYPT: SHOCKING DEATH SENTENCES FOLLOW SHAM TRIAL
529 Denied Right to Meaningful Defense, Face Capital Punishment

It’s shocking even amid Egypt’s deep political repression that a court has sentenced 529 people to death without giving them any meaningful opportunity to defend themselves. The Minya court failed to carry out its most fundamental duty to assess the individual guilt of each defendant, violating the most basic fair trial right. These death sentences should be immediately quashed.

(New York) – The criminal court in Minya, Egyptsentenced 529 people to death, possibly the largest mass death sentence in recent years anywhere, in a trial lacking basic due process protections.
The March 22, 2014, trial, in which the vast majority of defendants were tried in absentia, took place in under an hour. The prosecution did not put forward evidence implicating any individual defendant, even though it had compiled significant evidence during its investigations, and the court prevented defense lawyers from presenting their case or calling witnesses, three of the defense lawyers told Human Rights Watch. A second summary session was held two days later solely to announce the verdict.
“It’s shocking even amid Egypt’s deep political repression that a court has sentenced 529 people to death without giving them any meaningful opportunity to defend themselves,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. “The Minya court failed to carry out its most fundamental duty to assess the individual guilt of each defendant, violating the most basic fair trial right. These death sentences should be immediately quashed.”

Duizenden de straat op in Bangladesh-eisen doodstraf oorlogsmisdadigers/Nee tegen de doodstraf
DUIZENDEN DE STRAAT OP IN BANGLADESH- EISEN DOODSTRAF OORLOGSMISDADIGERS/NEE TEGEN DE DOODSTRAF
”Een ieder heeft het recht op leven, vrijheid en onschendbaarheid van zijn persoon.”
Geachte lezers,
Naar mijn overtuiging, die wordt gedeeld door internationale mensenrechtenorganisaties als Amnesty International en Human
Rights Watch , is de doodstraf een wrede en onmenselijke straf, die wereldwijd zou moeten worden afgeschaft.
Naar aanleiding van grootschalige protesten op het Shabagh plein in Dhaka, hoofdstad van Bangladesh, waarbij door
duizenden de doodstraf wordt geeist tegen voormannen van de Jamal el-Islami partij, die ervan worden verdacht
zich in de bloedige onafhankelijkheidsoorlog van Bangladesh schuldig te hebben gemaakt aan grootschalige oorlogsmisdaden, zet ik in onderstaande
mijn standpunt nog
eens uiteen, zoals ik reeds in een eerder artikel gedaan heb
Maar eerst enige achtergrondinformatie over de situatie in Bangladesh
