Revenge is no answer, abolish capital punishment: IGP

New Delhi, Mar 2 (UNI) The India Greens Party (IGP) on Monday appealed the government to abolish death penalty in the country, saying that the capital punishment was the 'ultimate denial of the right to life' and 'violation of fundamental human rights.'
"More than hundred countries in the world have already abolished the barbaric practice. The UN General Assembly has adopted, several times, the non-binding resolutions calling for a global moratorium on executions, with a view to eventual abolition", Party president Suresh Nautiyal said.
He told UNI that Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. Moreover, Article 5 of the Declaration states that no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
