Limiting of death penalty
#6

Quintessence of DustDec 3 2006, 02:09 PM OOC: I find the inclusion of 'sexual offenses' as legitimate grounds for execution abhorrent. Last year, a 16 year old Iranian girl, allegedly mentally ill, and denied a fair trial, was publicly hanged for 'acts incompatible with chastity'. That is not a 'nice compromise'. [/quote]
And every year thousands of people accused of multiple vicious rapes walk the street. Also, currently a nation can sentence a cat owner to death if it pleases.

But anyway, that part could be written in somehow. Really this discussion is void until Fair Sentencing act gets repealed.

And to guest, your quotes seemed out of alignment. Were you saying Umm at the no execution for religion clause?
That was actually one of the biggest points of the resolution: stopiing state-sanctioned murder due to a person's religion
