Kathmandu, September 7

A major debate took place in the human rights council as the delegates discussed the opposition of citizens to the abolition of the death penalty in the United Kingdom(UK) and India.

“Death penalty is not a revenge but the highest level of protection for citizens.” the delegate of the Philippines remarked in support of the death penalty.

The delegate of Pakistan pointed out the fact that there were many cases of sexual offenders, child rapists, and molesters getting scot-free. According to official news, More than 860 criminals are not getting their deserved punishment.

“Right to live is the biggest human right” the delegate of the UK argued when questioned about the lack of the death penalty during GSL.

The government of the UK has officially abolished the death penalty in 1964. and for over 50 years there has been no execution. No public security service can carry out the penalty without it being a crime.

“A criminal murders a person, the person dies but the criminal gets paroled “ The delegate of Syria rebuked the delegate of the USA. “What about the victim, what about their family? how can the families be satisfied.”

The victim of assaults and their family all show their clear support for the death penalty. more than half of the United kingdoms population wishes for the reactivation of capital punishment.

“India's last execution was two years ago. Since then rape rates in the country have been at an all-time high. With the option of death penalty out of the way the offender did get the appropriate punishment.”The delegate of Russia informed.

The delegates expressed their regret for the victims' mourning that while the victims suffered in the dark their abusers were able to walk free of the burden in the light.

Is abolishing the death penalty the correct choice? Why do criminals get a second chance when their victims are scarred for life?
