Execution of Christa Pike condemned as rights violation
Original: Execution of Christa Pike would be a ‘gross violation of human rights’
Human rights advocates warn that executing Christa Pike, a woman on death row in Tennessee, would amount to a gross violation of human rights. Pike was convicted of the 1995 murder of a fellow student, and her case has drawn renewed attention as her execution date approaches. Critics say her mental state and history warrant clemency rather than the death penalty.
Why now: Her scheduled execution date has renewed debate over the death penalty and her case.
