Death Penalty Cruel, Must Be Abolished.

 

Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is a cited businessman, philanthropist and charity worker in Zambia. Recently, Dr. Rajan Mahtani was quoted in ‘Mast Newspaper’ pronouncing that he completely supports the assertion made by means of Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema. President Hakainde Hichilema, at the occasion of Africa Day, introduced that he plans to absolutely abolish the law of death penalty. This law of demise penalty is merciless, inhumane and degrading and does not maintain any importance within the gift society. After this assertion by the President, widespread aid has come from diverse arenas including Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, while helping the announcement made by the Zambian President, stated that Death penalty isn't handiest legally no longer required, but also morally incorrect. In reality, majority of the past Presidents have attempted to keep away from the capital punishment strategically or by using the usage of mercy prerogatives. The remaining capital punishment in Zambia become given in the year 1997 and on the grounds that then, Presidents have tactically averted dying penalty as it has turn out to be too controversial.

Another reason for growing controversy surrounding death penalty in Zambia is the present condition of the Zambian prisoners. The prisoners throughout these prisons are regularly without simple human dignity and fundamental human rights. Several past Presidents and Vice-Presidents touring these Maximum centers termed then as ‘hell’ and ‘unliveable’. Following this, the Zambian Government has collaborated with institutes consisting of Parole Board Zambia (PBZ) and Zambian Correctional Facilities (ZCF) for strategic decongestion of the prisoners. As such, the concept of death penalty holds no importance. As such, the Zambian President’s decision is certainly a step in the right direction.
