UN rights chief urges end to execution attempts against Christa Pike
Original: No more execution attempts on Christa Pike: UN rights chief
The UN human rights chief has called for no further attempts to execute Christa Pike, following appeals over her case. Pike, convicted of a 1995 murder in Tennessee, is the only woman on the state's death row, and her case has drawn sustained attention from rights groups concerned about her mental state and the death penalty itself.
Why now: The UN's intervention in a long-running US death penalty case has renewed public debate about Pike's pending execution.
