  Most countries and societies in the  have moved away from applying the death penalty, because the right to life is fundamental and protected by international laws, while the death penalty is nothing but a retaliatory and vengeful practice, which has no deterrent effect regarding the commission of crimes, and the lack of effectiveness is statistically proven, Therefore, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in central Italy stopped that penalty as the first country in the world in 1887.

   In 2018, according to Amnesty International, 106 countries had abolished the death penalty, Around 28 countries have abolished the death penalty, including Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and the Palestinian Authority, 56 countries retain the death penalty, but half of them do not apply it. Out of 193 UN member states, only 23 still apply this penalty, with the top five being Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, China, Iraq, and Syria! These are the most brutal and authoritarian states, On the Syriano platform, a member called for the execution of a criminal or someone accused of a crime, prompting an administrator to warn him of the seriousness of his actions, The administration will likely expel him for additional reasons, including his encouragement of the Aljulanism  criminals to execute the criminal, while these same of   Aljulanism  commit crimes even more heinous than those of the criminal Amjad Yousef.

Opposition to the death penalty stems from many reasons, including the difficulty of identifying the perpetrator and the extent of his responsibility for the crime, A person is not born a criminal, a terrorist, or a murderer, but life circumstances turn a person into a criminal, a fanatic, a misogynist, a perpetrator of honor crimes, violence, and so on. Even the terrorist who detonates and kills children is not considered fully responsible for his act, as he shares responsibility for the act with the intellectual background that drove him to commit the act, The intellectual background was in the case of the criminal Muhammad Adel in the head of Sheikh Mabrouk Attia, who expressed in general the victim’s guilt in causing her death, meaning that her killing was at least partially justified because she was unveiled, And like Mabrouk Attia, there are many jurists who sympathize and thus encourage the commission of acts of this kind of brutal criminality.

It is necessary here to introduce the perpetrator, Muhammad Adel, who assassinated the student, Nayra Sharaf, with premeditation in front of the university where Nayra Sharaf was studying in Egypt. He was executed, We are not here to defend the criminal Muhammad Adel, but rather to condemn the execution of a person for any reason whatsoever, because execution is a crime parallel to or similar to the crime committed by the criminal Muhammad Adel, or the criminal Amjad Youssef, or the criminal Al-Julani and his gang, The death penalty is a crime in itself, and the crime is committed by the criminal judiciary, by criminal judges, and by means of a criminal law or the law of the jungle, as is the case in Syria.

   Life circumstances are represented by more than just intellectual background,There are other factors such as poverty, ignorance, the deep-rooted culture of violence and killing in people’s souls, then racism, the flaws in educational systems, the absence of justice, then discrimination between males and females in favor of males regarding many matters such as the value of testimony, then inheritance, marriage, divorce, polygamy, the abundance of superstitions, the concept of heaven and hell, then historical role models who committed crimes by imposing the killing of apostates and slaughtering those who insult the son of Abdullah, and other things that represent the ease of killing, even its legitimization and blessing.

  There is no going back on a death sentence, because no matter how honest a judge is, he is still prone to error, What can be done after the sentence is carried out based on a wrong decision? History has seen many errors in the context of trials that ended with the execution of a person. Amnesty International says that since 1973, there have been 160 prisoners in the United States sentenced to death, and they were proven innocent after the case was reviewed again,What can be done if the death sentence is carried out on them?

   There are countries that use the death penalty for authoritarian political purposes, to eliminate opponents or intimidate those who want to oppose, In Iran, a child burned a picture of Khomeini, so he was executed,In Iraq, the poet Ahmed Al-Nuaimi was hanged because of his poem “A People Who Do Not Feel Shame ” There are many similar cases, How short was the distance between Taha Hussein’s neck and the gallows…
