It is incomprehensible to all of us to think that we still have the death penalty in America, especially when we know that the death penalty is fraught with arbitrariness, that the majority of the people on death row are poor that they are a member of a minority and the US is executing the mentally ill and juveniles under 18 years of age." 7.

SOUNDBITE: (FRENCH) Bianca Jagger, Anti-Death Penalty Activist "There will be a congress - the 21st of June in Strasbourg in order to demand the end of the death penalty in the world. This is important for the countries that still have the death penalty like the United States, China and Japan, and others to understand that in our society today, this is not acceptable that we kill, and that we kill in certain circumstances innocent people and it is not acceptable either that we can have in countries like the US, which is a country that calls itself the country that defends the human rights throughout the entire world - that it is a force in this domain - and yet it has this system that is so wrong." 11. Cutaway of pamphlet that reads "Together Against the Death Penalty" 12. Man with the pamphlet on his lap 13. SOUNDBITE: (ENGLISH) (Regarding whether James Kopp should be executed) "If the United States is going to execute him and if France has abolished the death penalty, I think that it is up the French to think what is morally right, to decide what should be done." 14. Jagger seated at podium BIANCA JAGGER ADDS VOICE TO ANTI DEATH PENALTY LOBBY ===================================================== BIANCA JAGGER has joined calls for the death penalty to be dropped around the world. The actress and former wife of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger arrived in Paris on monday to join representatives from the European Parliament, the Council of Europe and other high level activists in Paris at the Presidency of the National Assembly, to announced a forthcoming congress against the death penalty. The first world congress for the abolition of the death penalty will be held in Strasbourg from June 21 to 23. Ahead of the press conference, Bianca Jagger told APTN that it was incomprehensible to her how the United States, which calls itself a defender of human rights could still enforce the death penalty. She said capital punishment "is fraught with arbitrariness" and that most people on death row are poor and members of minority groups. Jagger was also asked about the possible extradition to the U.S. of James Kopp, an American fugitive in France who was charged with the killing of a Buffalo-area abortion doctor. Kopp vanished after officials said they wanted to question him about the 1998 murder of Dr. Barnett Slepian (SLEHP'-ee-uhn) in suburban Buffalo, New York. One of the charges against the anti-abortion activist carries a potential death penalty. Kopp has become one of the F-B-I's most wanted fugitives. Jagger says France had the moral right to refuse to extradite the anti-abortionist, if the U.S. intended to execute him.
