Since the second half of the nineties, the wickedness of death rows and the fight against capital punishment have become one of the global working areas for the Sant'Egidio Community. The death penalty, the extreme epitome of human rights violations, represents a means of torture, contradicts a rehabilatory view of justice, lowers civil society to the level of those who murder, legitimates violence at the highest level and often becomes a tool for the repression of political, ethnic or religious minorities.
