ALBANIA:
Tahiri comments the chance to restore death penalty in Albania
Minister Tahiri has praised calls to restore the death penalty, after the
execution of 2 Czech tourists. Through a detailed post on the social network
Facebook, Tahiri writes that he has proposed 2 new initiatives.
"The call for death penalty? It is not a vindictive instinct, but is the
strongest sign that people don't trust the justice system. It is also the
biggest encouragement for reform.
So I understand all those people who have written these days about the arrest
of the prime suspect for the murder of 2 tourists in Dukagjin.
Everyone that has suggested the restoring of death penalty, does not seek
revenge, but justice. The disbelief that the justice system will not do
justice, leads many people to believe that this is the only way.
We can not choose the simplest way. We need to reform the justice system, while
we need to monitor every decision of any judge in the country and report any
abuse.
I officially proposed 2 initiatives, which I hope will be subject of debate by
the experts of relevant institutions but also to reform the justice system. The
1st proposal brings mechanical (mathematical) unity of penalties. If the
proposal would be adopted, the criminal will be stay in prison for the 2 (or
more) criminal offenses consumed.
The 2nd proposal provides the isolation of high-risk convicts, removing any
chance for them to return to the society as more trained criminals.
