Lorenzo Komboa Ervin, US anarchist and ex-Black panther recently spoke in Dublin, Belfast and Cork for the AD HOC COALITION AGAINST RACISM AND THE DEATH PENALTY looking for international support for a day of action against the US death penalty.
"The US government are sensitive to their image abroad and any support from comrades around the world will be vital to gaining the victory we need."
Thousands of people are on death rows in the USA. Thousands more are brutalised and murdered by the state forces each year. The death penalty in America is a form of racial genocide and class warfare against the poor, the worst form of repressive social control. The US has more people in prisons (1.6 million) and is the last major industrialised nation to still put people to death.
A moratorium is an immediate stoppage of the carrying out of the death penalty warrants by any state officials....a moratorium is a long term stoppage and can only be won by mass protest worldwide. This would be the first step towards eliminating the death penalty completely."
