WHILE I have no quarrel with columnist Peter Espeut 'trumpeting' the environmental cause, I must take issue with him for constantly equating the support of capital punishment with a lack of concern for human rights.
It is precisely because of the unmitigated concern for the human's inalienable right to life and to live it free from fear that some of us support capital punishment. We believe the message must be unequivocal that anyone who is found guilty of depriving a fellow human being of this fundamental and sacred right should pay with the forfeiture of his/her own life, and Scripture ordains the State so to act.
