Philippines abolishes death penalty The President of the Philippines, Gloria Arroyo, has signed a law abolishing capital punishment. The change means 1,200 inmates on death row will now face life imprisonment. Earlier this month legislators in the Philippines, a mainly Catholic country, voted overwhelmingly to abolish capital punishment. By Philippines standards, the bill was pushed through in record time. In a speech, President Arroyo said "we yield to the high moral imperative dictated by God to walk away from capital punishment". Earlier she had assured the public that the end of the death penalty did not mean there would be a soft stance against criminals. The Philippines is plagued by violent crime with guns readily available and used in even minor disputes. -BBC http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200606/s1671067.htm |
