Reprieve Deeply Saddened by the Death of Anita Roddick
11.09.07
Reprieve is deeply saddened by the death of Dame Anita Roddick, Clive Stafford Smith said "Anita Roddick was a vibrant advocate for human rights. I first met her years ago when she championed the cause of three men wrongly sentenced to prison in Louisiana and over the years came to know her as a firm friend of those facing injustice on death row, in Guantanamo Bay, or wherever they might be in the world. Anita was also a great supporter of charitable causes and was due to take up the reins as Chair of the Reprieve Board in just two weeks time. We were all looking forward to working with a person of such energy and imagination and are greatly saddened and taken aback by her loss.”
