Meanwhile, a pair of other Texas death row prisoners who are scheduled to die next week have announced plans to stage hunger strikes up until the time of their execution. Kenneth Foster and John Joe Amador said they will refuse all food beginning on Wednesday. The state of Texas is scheduled to execute Amador on August 29. Foster’s execution date is set for August 30. Both men said they will commit to a protest of passive non-participation in their executions. In a statement released yesterday, the men said: “We will not walk to our executions and we will not eat last meals. We will not give this process a humane face.” Kenneth Foster is scheduled to be executed under a controversial Texan law known as the law of parties. The law imposes the death penalty on anybody involved in a crime where a murder occurred. In Foster’s case, he was driving a car 11 years ago with three passengers. One of the passengers left the car, got into an altercation and shot a man dead.
