Death Penalty Is An Archaic Law, To Be Abolished In Zambia.
On the special occasion of Africa Day,
President of Zambia Hakainde Hichilema announced that his government is
planning to completely abolish the death penalty law. It was a surprise
decision and receives significant positive news. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a celebrated businessman and philanthropist from Zambia, supported this decision
by stating that death penalty is cruel, inhumane and degrading. Dr. Rajan
Mahtani praised the decision from the Zambian President declaring that he
became lucky to have met such a person who's compassionate, respects ‘rule of
law’ respects fundamental rights of human. Only then someone could be able to
make such formidable but rational and lots needed selection. Further helping
this declaration, Dr. Mahtani stated that the concept is death penalty is
archaic and has been abolished across majority of the international locations.
Even in African nations the idea is being abolished. As an end result of this
increasing fashion, the majority of the past presidents have averted the death penalty
by way of giving mercy prerogatives. The remaining demise penalty changed into
given inside the year 1997 and the person became completed. Furthermore, the
modern-day situation of Zambian prisons is degrading. At the identical
time, there had been reviews that the situation of the Zambian prisons is
extraordinarily pathetic with many prisoners without even essential human
rights and simple human dignity across some of the maximum prisons. As such,
the Zambian government has started strategic decongestion of prisons by way of
liberating prisoners. In this scenario, giving death penalty to the prisoners
does not do any good.
Dr. Rajan Mahtani also stated that his company Prison Fellowship will provide full legal and regulatory support to ensure that this decision becomes a reality.
