O femeie urmează să fie executată în în statul american Tennessee pentru prima dată în ultimii 200 de ani

Christa Pike is set to be executed in Tennessee, marking the first execution of a woman in over 200 years in the state. Her clemency request was denied by Governor Bill Lee. Pike, convicted for the 1995 murder of a 19-year-old, is the only woman on death row in Tennessee. Activists, including Amnesty International, have campaigned against her execution, citing her traumatic childhood experiences. The death penalty remains legal in over 24 states in the U.S., though it is infrequently applied to women, who make up only 2% of death row inmates. Recent polls show mixed public opinions on capital punishment.
