Actors including David Tennant, Olivia Colman and David Morrissey star in human rights charity Reprieve's campaign video against the death penalty.

The short film sees the actors voicing a series of statements from death row prisoners around the world, including the last words of those executed. Harriet McCulloch, deputy director of the death penalty team at Reprieve, commented 'These prisoners’ stories demonstrate the brutality and futility of the death penalty, and related abuses such as indefinite detention.... Now more than ever, countries like Britain must redouble their efforts to end the use of the death penalty by some of our closest allies'. The video can be viewed at reprieve.org.uk/lastwords.
