Global perspectives on the work of the Death Penalty Project…
The story of how the work of the Death Penalty Project supporting litigation in constitutional motions and human rights applications has transformed the death penalty from a mandatory to a discretionary sentence for murder is a remarkable one. It’s a tribute to the project and its workers that the numbers actually sentenced to death throughout the English speaking Caribbean and many countries in Africa has significantly reduced.” MR JUSTICE NICHOLAS BLAKE UK High Court, Queen’s Bench Division
Having been associated with the Death Penalty Project for a decade – as a former member of its Board of Trustees, as a collaborator at conferences, on missions and as a researcher in Trinidad – I have come to appreciate greatly how broad and decisive the influence of the DPP has been in restricting the scope and infliction of capital punishment in the Caribbean and Anglophone Africa.” PROFESSOR ROGER HOOD CBE, QC, DCL, FBA Emeritus Fellow All Souls College, Oxford
I have known Saul and Parvais for well over 15 years now and it has been wonderful to see the work they and their team have carried out in that time. There is obviously so much more still to be done to challenge politicians across the world who continue to support the execution of their citizens, but for now it is right to celebrate the role the Death Penalty Project has played in challenging dozens of miscarriages of justice. They have shown how much can be achieved when a small team tackles entrenched prejudices by combining astute legal brains with compassion and determination.” FELIX DENNIS Publisher, entrepreneur and poet
