Australian's Against Capital Punishment
|
We believe Capital Punishment is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. It violates the right to life and is irrevocable. It can be inflicted on the innocent and has never been shown to deter crime more effectively than other punishments.
The young Australians have committed crimes and should be punished, but each one has shown remorse and should have an opportunity to rehabilitative care. The death penalty renders impossible the idea of correction and rehabilitation; to give a person a second chance, to change, to make amends, to contribute to society in a more positive way.
We appeal that their sentences be commuted to life with parole conditions
Tuesday July 10th -
6 - 7:30pm

Representatives from each political party will be invited
to reaffirm their position on Capital Punishment and Australia's
role in the global drive for its worldwide abolition.
Australians Against Capital Punishment was formed in response to the growing concern with Australia's notable inconsistency and selective approach to the death penalty. Our aim is to use Australia's position in the Asia Pacific area to press for the worldwide abolition of the death penalty, in all circumstances.
