Death penalty is a human rights violation. With the death penalty, you are deliberately deciding punishment by death for a criminal. This is the same concept as eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. It violates human rights by the government forcing the death of a human. Death by capital punishment is not justice meaning not giving them what's rightfully theirs. I fully support imprisonment instead. God says that we shall not decide the length of another human's life according to the 10 Commandments. In conclusion, the death penalty is killing.
