Death penalty examined
In response to death row inmate Vernon Lee Evans' planned execution, and in an effort to raise general awareness about the issue, the chapter of the AU Campaign to End the Death Penalty has organized Death Penalty Awareness Week for March 21-25. "This week is about education, activism and mobilization to stop a pending execution," said Sedira Banan, a junior in the School of International Service and the College of Arts and Sciences and co-head and co-founder of AU Campaign to End the Death Penalty.
