Death Penalty Alive and Well in Abu Dhabi
Pardon the pun ^^^^
Gulf News Abu Dhabi: A man was executed on Thursday morning by firing squad in Abu Dhabi after being convicted of murdering an Emirati Engineer in Al Ain in 2002. Sources confirmed that 36-year-old Alex Rohana, a Sri Lankan, was executed at 7am in the presence of a judge, general public prosecutor, Imam, doctor and police officials. Rohana stabbed to death Mohammad Obaid Al Muhairi, a 39-year-old father of eight children. Al Muhairi was the deputy head of the engineering section at Al Ain Municipality and Town Planning Department. Rohana was sentenced to death by an Abu Dhabi court after being convicted on charges of murder, breaking into a house and having an illicit affair with a woman. |

Do we agree with what? The facts, the particular one highlighted, or with the death sentence in principle?

Re: Death Penalty Alive and Well in Abu Dhabi
Does the death sentence deter in the region? Are there figures on how many executed have been found innocent down the line? Is mens rea a consideration in the sentencing?
I for one think advances in, and reliance on DNA give ample opportunity to frame people for crimes, particularly where caste inequality exists. The answers to these questions might be starkly different to asking elsewhere where the streamlined education of members leans more towards humanities and social sciences. |

The highlighted case, he admitted that he did it, think of the scenario, bloke is/was shagging illegally, sponsor comes in, bloke runs out. Why did he feel it necessary to either arm himself with a knife or grab one? Why didn't he just run?
