Four journalists in Yemen face the death penalty, simply for telling the world the truth about suffering in Yemen. Every day, journalists around the world face intimidation, imprisonment and violence, for reporting on human right violations.

The World Day Against the Death Penalty, held each year on the 10 October, is an important moment to shine a light on the continuing injustice of the death penalty. When Amnesty International started campaigning against the death penalty in 1977, only 16 countries had abolished it. Today, 106 countries have abolished the death penalty in law for all crimes and 142 countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice. Together we have had an impact and we will continue to challenge this injustice until it is abolished for everyone, everywhere.
