In Liberia, the Civil Society Human Rights Advocacy Platform has launched the second phase of its campaign to abolish the death penalty.

The five-month project, funded by the British Embassy in Monrovia, was unveiled on Wednesday to mark the International Day Against the Death Penalty.

Organizers say the initiative seeks to strengthen national advocacy, engage policymakers, and promote alternative sentencing in line with international human rights standards.

Liberia remains among a few African countries yet to fully abolish capital punishment, despite growing calls for reform.
