No one is interested on your personal considerations.
.
Death as punishment should be abolished, even in cases of rape, let alone in drug trafficking, which exposes the hyprocrisy of the establishment in allowing cigarettes and alcohol, and prohibiting other drugs.
Punishment is to be very severe for the case of rape, but not death.
The death sentence should be abolished.

Martin Cassar, what would you do if you witness someone murdering a member of your own family, for example. Would you call the Police, have him or her arrested, prosecuted and eventually executed or would you execute the person yourself ?

Simple answer. USA criticism is politically driven. As Iran is not cheek to cheek with Zionism they will be criticised ad nauseum whereas The Saudi Royal Family are Zionist lackeys.

@Jesmond Micallef Human being re-action under serious incidents is not equal, and neither predicted nor guaranteed. I strongly believe commenting about something is one thing but living the situation is a totally different story. Let me please share a sad accident with you. In 1999 my son in law went bankrupted. All his business capital was stolen by his business partner….no need I tell you how our court work and how he managed to scot-free leaving a whole family penny-less and facing the music. Any way at this very moment chopping off the culprit’s hand as they do in Saudi Arabia would have be a no justice for me.

@Tommy Lee

You have got the whole thing backwards. The Saudi's and the US back each other because they are both in the Oil and Petroluem business together - suffice it to say that since the 1970's the greatest transfer of wealth in human history has occured - the transfer of in excess of 30 trillion dollars from the West to the Saudi's and other Middle East oil export countries. If anything, the US are the lackeys of the Saudi's and that is why Iran is the odd one out - they are Shia whereas the Saudi's are Wahhabis (different versions but equally despotic versions of Islam). As for spies and agents, Mossad or otherwise, I am sure every country that matters have their agents out there. So what? As for the Saudi Royal family being Zionist lackeys - you have to got to be dreaming in technicolour mate.

Yet Saudi Arabia is a good friend of USA but you'll only get the Yanks criticising Iran on this one.

The Death Penalty is no Justice whatsoever and should be abolished completely worldwide. The Maltese Parliament should not even consider re-establishing the capital punishment on the Maltese Islands.

Ok, understood, these crimes are hideous but still a criminal remains a human being. Harsh penalities are enough but nobody deserves to be executed as that makes human rights laws and civilisation complete nonesense. Humanity has allways struggled with its "own" issues, and it has its own flawed issues, have no doubt. No one deserves to be put to death, evenmoreso, systematically, intentionally, ritually and legally !!

You say that Saudi Arabia is a backward country, yet you want Malta to re-introduce this sick death penalty? Contradiction?

Joseph I agree with you on the death penalty in Malta, I truly believe that the death penalty would lower the crime rate. As regards Apostasy well how else would they keep thier faithfull withen Islam?
