Open for signatures 257 signatures

What the petition asks

I call on Parliament to reintroduce the death penalty for the most heinous crimes. Our justice system should reflect the gravity of deliberate murder and terrorism. We believe we must protect our citizens, uphold accountability, and ensure that the severest crimes receive the severest punishment.
I urge this Parliament to pass legislation restoring the death penalty for treason, rape murder, terrorism and espionage. Our foremost duty should be to protect innocent citizens and uphold justice. We believe the gravest offenses demand proportionate consequences, and its reinstatement will hopefully help prevent such atrocities. By passing this law, we could affirm accountability, strengthen public safety, and stand firmly with victims and their families.
