Italian inmates ask for execution

Catholic World News

Rome - Some 310 convicts serving life sentences in Italian prisons have
joined in a message to President Giorgio Napolitano, requesting that that
they be put to death.

"Mr. President, we are tired of dying little by little, day by day," the
inmates wrote. "We want to die only once. Therefore we request the death
penalty."

Italy has joined Germany in championing a proposal that the European Union
has put before the UN, calling for a worldwide moratorium on capital
punishment.
