Sri Lanka turning back the clock on human rights by resuming executions. Disappointing news from a beautiful country. Sign Amnesty’s petition to speak out against the death penalty: https://t.co/BMtgl1lTZC #LKA #LifeNotDeath

“Sri Lanka turning back the clock on human rights by resuming executions. Disappointing news from a beautiful country,” Branson tweeted.
Sri Lankan President @MaithripalaS wants to bring back the death penalty in Sri Lanka. I hope he takes a cue from the Maldives president and decides otherwise. Executions can be devastating and are never the solution. The wonderful people of Sri Lanka deserve better than this.
