Abid Malhi and Shafqat Ali were convicted of gang rape, kidnapping, robbery and terrorism offences back in March 2021 over the attack on the Sialkot-Lahore Motorway.
I understand the point you making.
But I think we fan clearly and with a large majority agree on some case that deserve death sentence. Like for terrorism, répéter offense of murder rape and pedophilia. I dont think saying thoses are subjective but rather objective.
I think the stance of we shouldn’t kill anyone cause somme could disagree is a weak argument. Some ppl think rape is ok, that doesn’t mean it should be ok or we shouldn’t punish it.
Many who are against the death penalty have issues on several fronts. If its found the conviction was in error then there is not reversing it. The response that well only for cases we are sure but its impossible to have that as we run into the lack of perfecttion both in our legal system and the people agreeing on when we are sure. After that there is if rehabilitation is possible and some believe its always possible. Then also you simply have the acceptance of group murder or institutional murder. The state as a collective is doing a thing that would be a crime from an individual but its fine because its the group or state (generally the state would not allow it from a group as well). With that its the hypocrisy of it. Now of course the state is allowed to go to war but usually that is predicated on a right to defend onesself.
