During the European Parliament plenary session held from January 19–22, 2026, MEPs debated a European Commission statement on joint action against the rising use of the death penalty worldwide. The discussion was driven by alarming data showing a sharp increase in executions in 2025, concentrated in a small number of countries. MEPs strongly condemned developments in Iran, where authorities intensified crackdowns on nationwide protests, reportedly killing hundreds and fast-tracking death penalty trials for detainees. The European Union reaffirmed its unequivocal opposition to capital punishment in all circumstances, calling it a violation of human dignity and an ineffective crime deterrent. The debate highlighted the need for coordinated international action, including support for legal moratoriums, opposition to executions for drug-related crimes and minors, and stronger sanctions against regimes using executions as repression tools. Parliament also welcomed the 2026 World Congress against the Death Penalty in France as a key global milestone. #EuropeanParliament #DeathPenalty #CapitalPunishment #HumanRights #EUForeignPolicy #IranProtests #Executions2025 #AbolishDeathPenalty #EUValues #GlobalJustice #WorldCongress #France2026 #HumanDignity #InternationalLaw #AmaravatiToday ------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Amaravati Today, AT World News channel and tap the bell icon to receive notifications whenever we go live https://www.youtube.com/@atnewsroom #atworldnews #atworld #AmaravatiToday Source/Courtesy: EU
