The United Nations human rights office expressed profound regret today (9/23/2011) over this week’s execution in the United States of Troy Davis, saying that the process that led to his death may have violated international law. (From UN News Centre Sources) UN Also Called for Halt to Execution: Authorities in the state of Georgia executed Mr. Davis by lethal injection on Wednesday evening for the 1989 killing of a police officer, after his final appeal was rejected. Earlier that day, three independent UN human rights experts had called on the US Government to stop the execution, citing concerns that Mr. Davis did not receive a fair trial. Many of the witnesses affirmed that they had been pressured or coerced into testifying against Mr. Davis, or recanted or changed their testimony, according to a news release issued by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Due Process Not Respected: Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesperson for OHCHR, told journalists in Geneva today that the Office understood there were serious concerns that the rights of Mr. Davis to due process and a fair trial had not been respected. She said that as a result, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and other international laws may have been violated.
