ALBANIA:

Tahiri comments the chance to restore death penalty in Albania


Minister Tahiri has praised calls to restore the death penalty, after the 
execution of 2 Czech tourists. Through a detailed post on the social network 
Facebook, Tahiri writes that he has proposed 2 new initiatives.

"The call for death penalty? It is not a vindictive instinct, but is the 
strongest sign that people don't trust the justice system. It is also the 
biggest encouragement for reform.

So I understand all those people who have written these days about the arrest 
of the prime suspect for the murder of 2 tourists in Dukagjin.

Everyone that has suggested the restoring of death penalty, does not seek 
revenge, but justice. The disbelief that the justice system will not do 
justice, leads many people to believe that this is the only way.

We can not choose the simplest way. We need to reform the justice system, while 
we need to monitor every decision of any judge in the country and report any 
abuse.

I officially proposed 2 initiatives, which I hope will be subject of debate by 
the experts of relevant institutions but also to reform the justice system. The 
1st proposal brings mechanical (mathematical) unity of penalties. If the 
proposal would be adopted, the criminal will be stay in prison for the 2 (or 
more) criminal offenses consumed.

The 2nd proposal provides the isolation of high-risk convicts, removing any 
chance for them to return to the society as more trained criminals.
