In response to today’s execution in Japan of a man convicted of the murder of nine people, Chiara Sangiorgio, Death Penalty Advisor at Amnesty International, said: “The execution of Takahiro Shiraishi – the first in Japan in nearly three years – is the latest callous attack on the right to life in Japan and a […]
The people protesting don’t care about the victims except for the murderer whom they consider a victim.
Timing on this is pathetic…
The only real issue with the death penalty is that innocent people have been murdered esp by the US regime that used death penalties for other purpose.
But nahh amnesty wants you to care about a guy who apparently murdered several people and there is not much question about the evidence.
Japanese police are infamous for getting confessions out of innocent people.
And their society is infamous for not speaking up about injustices.
With those in mind, I would not trust them one bit with deciding who should live and die.
That’s fair but is using this case for your case the right choice from PR perspective?
How does execution help the victims?
It sounds like you subscribe to a retributive justice point of view. It’s not the only way people view the purpose of a justice system. These are not a simple ideas that can be dismissed in a single reductive sentence; they are complex ideas that are worth your time and thought. Please consider what you think the justice system is for, how it could be different, and why you have the ideas that you currently do.
(I’m not interested in a back and forth, I just think you are missing a lot of nuance with that response.)
If done properly, it saves taxpayers money and limits idiots worshipping these shit stains.
At some point, it is about what’s best for society.
With that being said, I have zero faith in any regime not abusing death penalty.
But this case is well deserved. And anti deaht penalty crowd are tone deaf.
Find an innocent man and shill his case.

Is this the same amnesty that shilled Russian side of the war when Ukraine got invaded?
