Monday 10 October is World Day Against the Death Penalty.
Discrimination whether its based on sex, gender, poverty, age, sexual orientation, religious and ethnic minority status, or any other discrimination, can compound the already cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of individuals sentenced to death. Furthermore, the types of torture and other ill-treatment experienced during the lengthy death penalty process are varied and numerous.
A Monash University expert is available to discuss how law still imposes, condones and enables the death penalty in many countries around the world.
