After quite a positive post about black panther sighting videos I’d like to talk about some not so positive facts. A lot has been said about death penalty in China recently. There are 69 crimes that deserve death penalty by law and about 10,000 people are being shot in China every year for committing such crimes. This number is 5 times bigger that the number of people executed in other countries all together.



Nevertheless, there’s no evidence that death penalty will be restrained or abolished in China. Not long ago in the province of Hunan 100 Chinese pupils got the chance to attend a public execution. Together with other 2500 spectators these kids witnessed the execution of 6 Chinese criminals. Moreover there are some video clips that are being shown on TV during commercial breaks – and the whole country may watch an execution. Chinese authorities think that this will prevent the raise in the level of committed crimes. One of the crimes that deserve death penalty, according to Chinese authorities, is bribery. Among the 69 crimes are also smuggling, procuring, desecration of the graves and money forgery. As you can seem some of them are quite “innocent” but still the price for committing such crime will be the highest.

A lot of people object to such laws in China, even more object to death penalty existence in any country. Amnesty International Organization protests against death penalty, here you may watch its clip – execution the way the executed person sees it.



Anyway, death penalty still exists in many countries, and there are people that support it, saying that some criminals do not deserve to live. And, to my mind, they are right to some extent.  There are people that rape and kill children – how can we allow such beasts to live, especially to live on the taxes paid by the citizens among which are the children’s parents?
