"Mr President, you referred to the death penalty earlier on. We often talk here about the number of death penalties being carried out in China, in Iran, etc. I would like to refer to the case of a man in Ohio in the United States who, after serving 30 years in prison, also ‘served’ the death penalty, because he had to follow the due process. Serving two of the major sentences is, according to European standards, very cruel treatment.
I think that, in our dialogue with the United States – our major ally – this issue of the death sentence should come up. We should also consider the other case, of somebody who served 35 years in prison and was then proved innocent. With the death penalty, there is no deterrence; there is no correction; there is no coming back."@en1
