| Message | While the GMP acknowledges the emotional requirement for retribution and "justice", the application of the death penalty through judicial & criminal channels is not free from serious corruptions and misrepresentation. Regardless whether a human life is rightfully deemed worthless to society, or is indebted to it for acts against All, we believe it is a very permanent tool of violence by the State to end the life of a citizen. |
