Outgoing US President Joe Biden has pardoned 37 of the 40 federal death row inmates in the United States.
When there is less than a month left from the end of the mandate, the head of the White House used the presidential pardons to fulfill this request of the activists who oppose capital punishment in the USA, writes A2.
"These pardons are in line with the moratorium my administration placed on federal executions, excluding cases of terrorism or hate-based mass murder," the president said in a statement.
Among those who benefited are those convicted of murdering other prisoners, murder during bank robberies and the murder of a prison guard. "Make no mistake, I condemn these killers and weep for the victims while sharing the pain of the families who have experienced irreparable loss," adds Biden. In the end, he clarifies that his position is to remove the death penalty from the law. (A2 Televizion)
