China Considering Abolishing Death Penalty
Bush and Aschroft's ears should be burning with shame:
Powerful arguments in favour of abolishing the death penalty in China have been voiced at a recent conference which marks a significant step forward in one of the country's most sensitive human rights areas.What's wrong with America that they just don't grasp it?This was the first debate of its kind to be reported in the Chinese press and the abolitionist argument was put more strongly than before, reflecting a growing willingness on the part of the authorities to let the issues be aired.
Nearly all the Chinese academics taking part supported abolition, and called for a start to be made by strictly limiting its use.
