The Tunisian Coalition Against the Death Penalty (CTCPM), represented by its President Chokri Letaief, was elected by an overwhelming majority to the Steering Committee of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty (WCADP), during the General Assembly held in Nairobi, Kenya, on June 23 and 24.
Chokri Letaief indicated that the support received by the Coalition extends to all Tunisian civil and democratic associative movements that pursue their commitment to dignity, freedom and justice, according to a statement issued on Monday by the Tunisian Coalition Against the Death Penalty.
In this context, it called on the Tunisian authorities to respect the “right to life” and to approve the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Founded on May 13 2022, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty is made up of more than 160 NGOs, bar associations, local authorities and trade unions.
Its aim is to strengthen the international dimension of the fight against the death penalty. Its objective is the universal abolition of the death penalty.
