                    [Title] => 3 rapists get 90-day reprieve from death
                    [Summary] => Death row convicts cheered and wept yesterday when President Arroyo postponed for 90 days the executions of three rapists to enable Congress to debate a bill on abolishing capital punishment.


Mrs. Arroyo, a devout Catholic under pressure from anti-crime groups to push through with the executions in order to curb lawlessness, ordered a reprieve just 48 hours before one of the three was to be executed by lethal injection.

Meanwhile, the President is studying clemency pleas by the death row convicts, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye told the Agence France Presse.
