On November 22 and 23, the last seminar of the cycle of seminars that the Network for the abolition of the death penalty and cruel punishments has prepared for this year 2021 took place.

In these seminars we were able to count on the presence of magnificent speakers such as Pedro Oliver Olmo, Nicolás García Rivas, Juan Antonio Lascuraín, among many others. Which dealt with topics as diverse as the prison standards of the Council of Europe on life imprisonment, the death penalty in military criminal law, the questionable application of reviewable permanent prison in Spain.

On September 15, the third seminar of the series of seminars that the Network for the Abolition of the Death Penalty and Cruel Punishment has prepared for this year 2021 took place.

It was divided into two tables, the first table on Extrajudicial Executions in America, had the participation of Julieta Morales Sánchez, Catalina Pérez Correa, Eduardo Saad Diniz and María Lorena Arrobo Fernández. The second table, which focused on Excess in the Police Exercise of Lethal Force, was accompanied by Ivó Coca Vila, Gian Luigi Gatta and José Luis de la Cuesta, who spoke to us about the justification of the use of force by police officers and reparation to the victims.
