The human rights NGO Reprieve recently instructed Tetevi Davi to provide a legal opinion to its Middle East and North Africa (MENA) team on the legality of the death penalty under international law. As well as dealing with the legality of the death penalty broadly, the Opinion examined cases where the families of executed persons are not informed of the time and place of their executions as well as scenarios where their bodies are not returned to their families following their executions.

The Opinion is being used by Reprieve as the basis for a submission to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
