Kenya: All death sentences commuted to life in prison

Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki announced today that all 4,000 death row inmates in the country will have their sentences commuted to life in prison. Kibaki cited the fact that no death sentence has been carried out in 22 years, as well as the "undue mental anguish" associated with life on death row.
