Death penalty, what does it mean? Well, if this question comes to your mind, I will answer it. Death penalty means when a criminal is sentenced to death due to committing a crime. In some countries have death penalty. In 55 countries, death penalties are done, 108 countries have abolished it.There is no death penalty in Nepal’s constitution. In the past in the UK, your organs could get ripped out! In England, drop-hanging was introduced in 1783. In some it was replaced with burning. During the rule of King Henry the VIII’s, 20 people were hanged each week in London. But, there was this time called ‘The Bloody Code’ where some people were pardoned, whereas some were sent to Australia to wipe their existence. Others joined the army and navy.
So, in my opinion, Death penalty should be abolished! ‘No one is allowed to choose if someone lives or dies.’ The point is that Death penalty has not affected the crime rates. The people on death row who were executed turned out to be innocent. We are civilised people, we should give them a punishment which is not ending their lives. Death penalty is not a solution, killing people is always wrong and that's what I support.
