Justice Sotomayor warned against the lengthy suffering Anthony Boyd—who was executed yesterday in Alabama—would endure as a result of nitrogen suffocation. A witness of Mr. Boyd's execution reported that it looked like he was "gasping for air."

The death penalty devalues life and justice. Standing with all who work towards its global abolition.

⏰ Less than 3 days remain to save Anthony Boyd — despite overwhelming evidence that his conviction was built on incentivized witness testimony, no forensic proof, and ignored alibi statements.

⚠️ This is not justice — it’s an irreversible mistake waiting to happen.

Abolishing the death penalty is an urgent moral need. Revolting to be in the shrinking minority of nations that still sentence people to death.
