The death penalty in Iran should be stopped<\/p>\n
Since the year 2002, October 10, has been named the International Day against the Death Penalty by dozens of human rights organizations.<\/p>\n
The death penalty has been canceled in 104 countries, and in some of these countries, it has been done through a referendum. Also, 50 countries do not use the death penalty or its execution has been stopped. In 6 countries, the death penalty has outdated, except in special cases (such as wartime), and it is only active in 36 countries.<\/p>\n
October 10th, World Day against Death Penalty is here. For citizens of countries with governments fixated on executing the cruel and inhuman punishment, it is a reminder that despite world\u2019s grand entrance into the 21st century, there is still a long way to go, before leaving this medieval punishment behind for good.<\/p>\n
Iran is a prime example of such a mentality. By scratching the surface and getting a little deeper, for Iran\u2019s rulers, it is not just a mere form of punishment. It is an instrument of spreading fear among the citizens. Even China, with a population 17 times larger than Iran, and a world\u2019s leading advocate of the death penalty, there is hardly any case of public hanging or juvenile execution.<\/p>\n
