Abolish the death penalty

The death penalty is the ultimate denial of our human rights. It violates the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Even if you sentence someone to the death penalty because of they killed someone that still will not give the family justice, because that still will not bring back the person they lost. The death penalty is also a way out for the convict not to have to think about what he has done. When you use the death penalty you could also be killing a man or women who has been wrongly accused.

Amnesty International recorded that at least 2390 people were executed and at least 8864 sentence to death around the world in 2008.

The death penalty is something that millions of people across the world are protesting to abolish the death penalty and it should be something that the Government is looking into and take the Capitol punishment law out.
