I dont support death penalty as i think is an easy way out and it gives too much power to the judiciary to set a standard for death penalty. How do they get to decide which convict deserved death penalty and which doesnt.
@9FYF5BK6mos6MO
Used as a deterrent but never actually carried out. Terminally ill prisoners are allowed to choose euthanasia and it is published as a death penalty to scare people into abiding the law.
@9D33VX89mos9MO
No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence.
@9CQH6WJ9mos9MO
Death penalty should be applied in the rarest of the rate case only when collective conscience of society is so shocked that life imprisonment appears to be inadequate
@9CPNQZC9mos9MO
No. Death penalty is State sanctioned murder
@9C4SMC411mos11MO

Uganda's constitutional court on Wednesday refused to annul or suspend an anti-LGBTQ law that includes the death penalty for certain same-sex acts, but voided some provisions it said are inconsistent with certain fundamental human rights.The legislation, adopted in May last year, is among the world's harshest anti-gay laws and has drawn condemnation from rights campaigners and sanctions from Western nations.Activists say the law has unleashed a torrent of abuse against LGBTQ people, including torture, rape, arrest and eviction."We decline to nullify the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 in its entirety, neither will we grant a permanent injunction against its enforcement," said lead judge Richard Buteera, reading the judgment on behalf of his four colleagues.However, the court struck down certain sections it said were "inconsistent with right to health, privacy and freedom of religion".The portions of the act that were voided criminalised the letting of premises for use for homosexual acts and failure to report homosexual acts.Under the Anti-Homosexuality Act, citizens had an obligation to report anyone they suspected of engaging in homosexuality. This requirement violated individual rights, the court found.The government will now have to remove these sections from the law, Edward Ssemambo, a human rights lawyer representing the petitioners, told Reuters.
