Amnesty International works very hard to abolish the death penalty. To them, “death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights.” People who strongly disagree on death penalty often raise the issue of human rights. Since when do we start to care so much about the murderer’s rights but not the victim?

The right to life. The right to life is the supreme right of the human being. It is basic to all human rights and without it all other rights are without meaning. The innocent victim’s life had been taken. His human rights had all been taken away. The murderer had taken the victim’s life and rights but when caught, ask people to respect his rights. When people are concerned that we might have convicted an innocent murderer, no one cares about the truly innocent victim. No one cares about if the murderer was to walk free, more innocent victims will die. But no one cares about victims, to those oppositions, victims are just numbers but the cold-blooded murderer is a vulnerable dying life.
