| Message | This bill makes total sense. This way we can rehabilitate those who need it and not waste money on prisoners who are unfit to continue existing in our society. We will be supporting this bill. |
| Date | 18:16:20, December 30, 2015 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Death Penalty Reform |
| Message | We cannot reject citizens of state and condemn them to death simply because we want to save money. There are far better ways to save money, and our justice system should allow for the rehabilitation of criminals regardless of crime for hope of a better society for all. |
