lpv:spoken text	". The EU has as part of its requirements for membership for Member States that they do not exercise or have on their statute books the death penalty. It is only right that we try to promote this around the globe. It is a disgrace from the US to China, from Central Asia to Central Africa. The problem is that we exhibit a degree of hypocrisy when some executions are more acceptable than others. It is just as wrong to execute Saddam Hussein and Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma Bomber, as Ken Sara-Wiwo, the Nigerian human rights activist, or the hundreds of victims of Saddam Hussein’s brutal, totalitarian regime. I can only hope that in future we oppose those barbaric public spectacles in the same way we oppose China’s executions, as now modern technology allows public executions to be replaced by execution broadcast via mobile phone."@en1
