                    [Summary] => We from the Mamamayang Tutol sa Bitay-Movement for Restorative Justice (MTB-MRJ) certainly laud President Arroyo's Easter Sunday announcement to commute the death sentences to life imprisonment of some 1,205 inmates. Having been campaigning against the death penalty for several years now, we hope that the president's action will pave the way for the abolition of RA 7659, or the Death Penalty Law.
But MTB-MRJ believes that commutation of death sentences does not fully address our call for the abolition of the death penalty:

                    [Summary] => A human rights group has renewed its call for the government to abolish Republic Act 7659, or the death penalty law, contending that it failed in its intent to be a deterrent to crime aside from its being a gross violation of human right to life and dignity.


Death penalty was never an effective deterrent to crime, as records showed that while the number of people on death row has gone over a thousand at present, criminality in the country has also been rising, said the group, Mamamayang Tutol sa Bitay-Movement for Restorative Justice.
