Number of people released from America's death row with evidence of innocence since 1973
Abolition U.K is a grassroots organisation formed in 2008. We are the only nationwide grassroots organization focused solely on the issue of death penalty abolition. We aim to strengthen the international dimension of the struggle against capital punishment.
We recognise the death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights. By working towards the abolition of the death penalty we look to end the cycle of violence created by a system tarnished with fatal flaws and injustices.
