The first executions of Lahoud's term
DEATH PENALTY KILLS
"Convinced that
everyone’s right to life is a basic value in a democratic society and that
the abolition of the death penalty is essential for the protection of this
right and for the full recognition of the inherent dignity of all human
beings.
Thus, everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be
deprived of his life, regardless of circumstances".
The European Council
But where are we from the
everyone's right to life?? We are much far away from that.
Protests mark 1st executions of Lahoud’s term

the lebanese people’
Ahmad Mansour, Badih Walid Hamade and Remi Antoine
Zaatar, were killed on Saturday by DEATH PENALTY.

The Black Day
Khiam Rehabilitation
Center for Victims Of Torture appealed not to spot the reputation of
Lebanon and deform his cultural face by executing the capital punishment.
The center called up on for replacing this punishment by life sentences
because a crime should not be faced with a more violent crime. Executing the
capital punishment will not deter crimes, which grows in sectarian
communities and in the absence of the educational and social programs.
The center considered that Saturday, 17/01/2004 will be a black day in the history of Lebanon because the capital punishment that the Lebanese government is executing against Ahmed Mansour, Badie Hemadeh and Remie Zaatar is nothing but a violation for the human dignity and the man’s right to live, add to that it will not bring the victims back to life but it will have it’s own victims and will open new injuries in the Lebanese body.
Capital punishment is a
horrible and outrageous act,
Stop its execution,
Stop torture,
Stop murder.
