Details
Submitted by[?]: National Progress Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 4338
Description[?]:
| (This bill was proposed by the minister of Justice Cristian Buccho) This bill seeks to ensure that criminals are treated fairly and humanly. As a modern and civilized nation we cannot allow ourselves to mistrea criminals and to deprive them from their basic right. Criminals are just as any other citizen, the difference being that they have made big mistakes that require them to be taken in charge by the government. That doesn't mean we have the right to just kill them or to take away their right to vote. Criminals shall have their right to vote restore the very day they get out of jail. The government shall not punish murderers by becoming itself a murderer. The only exception being the one that have committed extremely severe crimes like terrorism, treason or crimes against mankind, these ones are truly unredeemable. |
