Campaigning against the death penalty

The video discusses the case of a Spanish national whose murder conviction was overturned in the US, highlighting the flaws in the justice system. A former Texas prosecutor, once a supporter of the death penalty, now advocates for its abolition, arguing that the system must be infallible. The video also examines the use of capital punishment in Iran and China, noting Iran's increase in executions under President Ahmadinejad and China's high execution rates. Abolitionists are pressuring China as it prepares for the 2008 Olympics, with some countries having recently banned the death penalty.
