The government should make a desicion on if the death penalty is valid and then give the option to the family.
@9J59F6D3mos3MO
No, and abolish the punitive justice system entirely and replace it with a fully rehabilitative one.
@99CN88Z1yr1Y
Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence. Too many people are innocently convicted.
@9FZPB4J6mos6MO
I am well aware about the death penalty, but in certain cases I feel the riches come out fine but the poor are the ones that get killed. That is why if they have full proven and right evidence about the crime that was committed then I support it , but if they don’t then I don’t support it.
@9CYHNZN9mos9MO
Suffering is necessary to show that no one should commit bad crimes
@9CH3Y7810mos10MO
no, some people deserve death for their crimes but I don't think anyone or the goverment should have to right to put them to death

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.
