The incident in Aluva where a five-year-old girl was drugged with alcohol and brutally tortured and killed was a brutal act that shocked the Malayalam conscience. Ernakulam POCSO court sentenced Asfaq Alam to death for this heinous atrocity.
But in the context of this verdict, social media activist Prem Kumar has come against the death penalty. Prem Kumar says that no matter how heinous the crime, hanging is a primitive form of punishment that humans should not continue.
Prem Kumar’s words were through a social media post, but many people are coming forward to criticize Prem Kumar’s words. Full text of the post-
No matter how heinous the crime,
No longer should humans continue
Hanging is a primitive form of punishment.
Just like charity is not the solution to poverty
Death penalty is not a solution to crime
The position is that it is.
The position is the same today.
The world’s highest death penalty
It is in China, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
because,These are not the countries with the lowest crime rate.
APJ Abdul Kalam says:
“Accepting death sentences was the most difficult thing to do as a president. To my surprise…almost all cases…which were pending had a social and economic bias.’
Yes…Know that most of those who get the death penalty are those who live on the fringes of society, in the ignominy.
There is no answer to the question of what to do next
But then know that he must be killed.
Know that it is up to us to find the answer to what to do with him.
What if it was your daughter?
The answer is the same.
Abolish the death penalty legally,
Know the debates and efforts going on in the civilized world whether to suspend the execution of the sentences.
No matter how heinous the crime,
No longer should humans continue
Hanging is a primitive form of punishment.
Premkumar
