Death penalty: Abolitionist reflections: Issue no. 2: Sub-Saharan Africa

On 11 December 1977 Amnesty International and participants of the International Conference on the Abolition of the Death Penalty issued the Stockholm Declaration which called on all governments to bring about the immediate and total abolition of the death penalty.

To mark this anniversary, Amnesty International looks through this newsletter at the encouraging progress towards abolition in Sub-Saharan Africa.
