In France

This week Renny Cushing is in Nantes, France for two events: first, the 2008 General Assembly of the World Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (MVFHR is a member of the World Coalition's Steering Committee). Important items on the Coalition's agenda this year will be plans to observe World Day Against the Death Penalty in October, the China 2008 campaign, and the creation of a regional alliance in the Caribbean to end the death penalty. There will be a public debate on the question, "“Shall we campaign in favor of socially responsible investments in abolitionist countries and regions?”

Next, Renny will join activists from around the world in contributing to discussions at the 3rd World Human Rights Forum. You can follow the events of the Forum here.
