Is the death penalty on its way out?

Africa Daily

Available for over a year

Sierra Leone has abolished the death penalty – and in countries where it’s still legal, executions are going down. Last year, only 16 were reportedly carried out in sub-Saharan Africa. So, is the end of capital punishment getting nearer? And what will happen to all the prisoners waiting on death row? Host: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja on Twitter) Guests: Umaru Fofana, reporter in Sierra Leone; Morris Kabeira, former death row inmate from Kenya. #AfricaDaily
