I am certain that everyone here has noticed the recent events in India, where a young student died last night, who was brutaly gang raped and beaten by 6 men with iron rods before.
This crime sparked widespread protest in India, where a woman is raped almoust every 20 minutes and authorities long didn`t seem to care much.
Some of the protester call for mandetory death penalty for rapists. And following the story I have noticed that in alot of comments various people from different national backgrounds also demand the death penalty to be interduced in their country.
Personaly I think that in tragic events emotional reactions and the political demands coming from such can ofter be irrational.
Whilest finding the situation for women in India horrible, I do not believe that the death penalty would be a solution to the problem, since the main cause of the problem was that the laws in place were oftern not inforced.
