Bo Aasi: Abolition Not Leniency
Representative Pierre Bou Assi of the "Strong Republic" Party discussed that the abolition of the death penalty is a moral, philosophical, and social decision aimed at protecting human life. He emphasizes that this does not imply leniency toward criminals but rather replacing the death penalty with more severe sanctions such as life imprisonment. He pointed out that international studies show that abolishing the death penalty does not lead to an increase in crime rates, and some countries that have abolished it, like Canada, have experienced a decline in crime rates. He believes that the timing of passing the law could serve to organize alternative punishments, with tools such as life imprisonment for serious offenders. He stresses the importance of this law becoming part of the legal framework after the general amnesty.
