Abolition of death penalty cannot be achieved in one sitting: MOJ

~~~by Huang Yi-han and Sofia Wu

In Taiwan, progress has been made on the death penalty issue, the MOJ said, adding that it will continue working toward its ultimate goal of scrapping capital punishment.

Taipei, Dec. 23 (CNA): Abolishment of capital punishment cannot be achieved in one sitting and instead requires popular support and completion of legislation, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) said Sunday.

Responding to Amnesty International's criticism of Taiwan for its Dec. 21 execution of six death row inmates, the ministry said abolishing capital punishment is a goal that requires long-term efforts to realize.

The ministry cited the progress of the European Convention on Human Rights and experiences of some European countries in abolishing capital punishment to back its argument.

When the European convention took effect in 1953, it did not contain any provision requiring its signatories to abolish capital punishment, the MOJ said in a statement.

In 1983, all signatories were required to phase out capital punishment during peacetime and use such punishment only in wartime or on the brink of war, the statement aid.

The convention did not demand an all-out abolishment of capital punishment until July 1, 2003, nearly 50 years after the convention took effect, the MOJ added.

It also took several decades of efforts for the United Kingdom, Germany and France to attain the goal of phasing out capital punishment, the ministry said.

To date, it added, most countries around the world have not yet reached a consistent view or stance on capital punishment.

In Taiwan, progress has been made on the death penalty issue, the MOJ said, adding that it will continue working toward its ultimate goal of scrapping capital punishment.

"As it's a goal that require phased, multilayer and comprehensive efforts to accomplish, the ministry has not and cannot set a date for terminating or abolishing death penalty," the MOJ added.

Male Rape and Sexual Assault

Within our society, men and boys can suffer appalling sexual assaults and humiliations, but rarely does a victim cry out for help. Such is his feeling of shame, he will often be as desperate to keep it a secret as his attacker is. Confusion, depression and a sense of inescapable isolation are common reactions. They can wreck a man's life. The effects of sexual abuse on men are in many ways similar to those on women, but the response of society is markedly different. Men are seen as strong protectors, capable of defending themselves and those that they care about. When rape occurs feelings of shame, guilt, bewilderment and disbelief often lead to a change of self-esteem. Frequently men feel unable to express their anger and rage at what has happened to them and turn it in on themselves. In a twist that doesn't occur in female rape, sometimes the perpetrator of male rape will arouse his victim sexually, leading him to ejaculation. This is a control move which leaves the victim totally confused as to his role in the rape - did he in fact contribute, by becoming aroused?
It is important to bear in mind that co-operation does not mean consent. Sometimes co-operation with a rapist or abuser is essential to survive the situation. Many men unfortunately find it easier to blame themselves than accept that they were over-powered and raped, in spite of possibly being tricked or manipulated into trusting, or sometimes even feeling an attachment for, their attacker.
It is only by bringing these issues out into the open and discussing them, that we can hope to change society's attitudes so that male rape is seen as the same violent crime as female rape. Rape and Sexual Assault are not about sex or a sexual relationship. They are serious crimes about power, control, humiliation and domination.
Childhood Sexual Abuse:
Being both mentally and physically strong is something that society seems to expect of males from a very early age. Some young men will feel that they should be able to physically protect themselves and, when they cannot, they find this hard to accept. Many boys, like all children, find it hard to ask for help when abuse is happening. As they grow up they find it even harder to ask for help. Many boys do not report acts of sexual violence because they see this as a sign of weakness. By accepting that the abuse was not your fault it can only help to shift the feelings of guilt and shame, putting them where they belong, on the perpetrator.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male

"Obviously if you're watching a scene with a woman tied to a bed while a man forces sx on her, the final act of that movie will involve said man getting shot in the face by Bruce Willis. If, on the other hand, it's a man being tied down and forced into sex by a pretty lady, well, you're watching a wacky romantic comedy." ~~C. Coville, Cracked, 6 Romantic Movie Gestures That Can Get You Prison Time

A Sub Trope of Double Standard.
Rape is a special kind of Evil, beyond kicking the dog or any of the other acts of villainy in media. But there seems to be one exception: when the victim is a man and the attacker is a woman. Men are stereotyped as constantly wanting sex and of being stronger in general than women. Therefore, the idea that the man could have either not consented to sex with a woman or been incapable of fighting off a female aggressor if he did refuse sex is simply not taken seriously. Another commonly-held notion that the idea of female-on-male rape challenges is the false idea that since men have erections, they enjoy the sex, and hence is not rape or not as traumatic as any other kind of rape.
The consequence of this line of thought is this trope. A man raped by an attractive woman is considered a lucky man, and a man being raped by an unattractive woman is comedy gold.
Sadly, people thinking this way is Truth in Television. For instance, some countries don't penalize sexual acts done by females as "rape", and this even extends to Sexual Harassment, too. Since real examples can get complicated, No Real Life Examples, Please!
This trope is not just females raping males, but females raping males and that being somehow more okay in-universe than males raping females, males raping males, and so forth.

Man raped by gang of girls in Dehradun
~~Neetu Banga

It is shocking when girls abduct and rape a man, and make a MMS. However, reactions of women are different, when asked about the same, and they are not ready to accept this story.
Parul Mehta, Energy World CEO says, “Why he is crying? Daily there are incidents of rape cases with females and police refuses to lodge FIR or make the victim as a culprit. It is right that gang of girls have turned the table. Hatts off,”

IT IS shocking news about what seems to be women's desire to teach a lesson to the opposite sex. A man from Dehradun has alleged that a gang of girls forcefully abducted and raped him, and a MMS was filmed. The FIR lodged at Kotawali police station says that a group of women did this offence near the Hindu National College, Dehradun.
The plaintiff claimed that he was also threatened with dire consequences if he went to the police. His story is not less than any movie. He told police that a few women approached him on the afternoon of April 9and asked for direction of road. One of then sprayed something on his face and made him comatose. Then he was taken to a nearby building and sexually molested by the women, and a video was shot.
Later, he was dumped near a bus stand with a warning that he would be killed if he informed the police or anyone. Now, police are getting him examined by a medical professional and the matter is under investigation.
This Citizen Journalist asked women about their feedback on this incident, and no woman was ready to accept the truth. Sujata Hangal, an engineering executive says, “This story is scripted like any film. Typically, he wants publicity with with the help of a wrong route. Indian women cannot do this type of act. Shame on this man.”
Parul Mehta, Energy World CEO says, “Why he is crying? Daily there are incidents of rape cases with females and police refuses to lodge FIR or make the victim as a culprit. It is right that gang of girls have turned the table. Hatts off,”
Mansi Gaur, a homemaker says, “Where is the eye witness? The girls were dumping a male near a bus stand and no one protested? It is filmy story,”
Ankita Kohli, a college goers says, “First police hold these women and investigate them, only we gals will accept this story. However, this story motivates me how to teach a lesson to these guys who are raping girls without any second thoughts.” Alina, a school teacher says, “Indian girls cannot do this act. We are bound with our traditions. This man is a liar.”
However, the incident is not the first in India. It is believed that in the Indian society Indian girls are considered relatively introverted and they cannot do the rape act. The molesting of a man by a group is possible and for some women it is the only option left to stop rape cases.

WHO IS A MUSLIM?

A Muslim is a man who had given up his "hostility" to Islam and entered into a patronage relationship with an Arab master. This relation was called "Muwalat".

Please Click on the Photo and then Press Control and + simultaneously to Expand

The designation mu'min stood in contrast to the term "kafir" denoting the one rejecting the monotheistic revelation as Hazarat Muhammad had received it.
The term mu'min seems to have been reserved for the first adherents to Islam - the Arabs. Therefore the definition of the term `amir al-mu'minin receives a new and narrower meaning, i.e. the prince of the Arab believers whose security was assured.
The mu'min receives the free protection of his leader.
The "dhimmi" on the other hand will not receive free protection and is a "non-Arab of inferior status".
Therefore any submitted non-Arabic person is not a mu'min, but a mawla of an inferior status.
Islam thus denotes a total "submission and entering into peace and pronouncing the creed and giving up hostility that one has shown".

Why mandatory death penalty be not abolished? Supreme Court asks

  “To err is human, to forgive is divine,” Alexander Pope, the English poet and critic

NEW DELHI: Days after a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court said it was time to revisit jurisprudence behind imposition of death penalty, the apex court asked the Union government why provisions in some laws mandating compulsory death penalty as punishment be not struck down as unconstitutional.

The question from a bench of Justices Aftab Alam and Ranajana Desai put additional solicitor general Siddharth Luthra in a piquant position for he had sought to argue the Centre's appeal against a Bombay high court judgment diluting the mandatory death penalty prescribed under section 31A of Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for repeat offenders trading in huge quantities of contraband.

Though the Union government's appeal challenged the Bombay HC's decision to read down Section 31A to provide the concerned Judge with the discretion of imposing life sentence, the bench decided to take suo motu of other similar provisions in some laws warranting mandatory imposition of death penalty. The read down principle limits a provision of law.

Expressing its view on statutory provisions mandating compulsory capital punishment, the bench said prima facie it appeared to be violative of Article 21 (right to life) and Article 14 (non-discrimination/equality).

On a PIL by a Delhi-based NGO Indian Harm Reduction Network challenging the constitutional validity of Section 31A of NDPS Act, a Bombay HC bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and AP Bhangale on June 16, 2011, had held that the provision is violative of Article 21 as it provides for a mandatory death penalty.

"Instead of declaring Section 31A as unconstitutional, we accede to the alternative argument of the Union government that the said provision be construed as directory by reading down the expression 'shall be punishable with death' as 'may be punishable with death' in relation to the offences covered under Section 31A of the Act," the HC had said.

The HC had further clarified — "Thus, the court will have discretion to impose punishment specified in Section 31A of the Act for offences covered by Section 31A of the Act. But, in appropriate cases, the court can award death penalty for the offences covered by Section 31A upon recording reasons therefore."

The Union government challenged this reading down of the provision and in its appeal before the apex court said sentencing was, essentially, a legislative policy and that it was also the legislature's prerogative whether to grant courts any discretion while imposing sentence under a provision of a penal statute.

It said: "the mandatory death penalty provided in Section 31A is in the nature of minimum sentence in respect of repeat offenders of specified activities and for offences involving huge quantities of specified categories of narcotic drugs."

"Would it still be open for the court to reduce the minimum sentence provided for by the Legislature?" the Union government asked and said offences falling under NDPS Act had been held by the apex court to be of such nature which had deleterious effect and deadly impact on the society as a whole. "The Supreme Court had time and again held that narcotic crimes are more heinous than murder," it said.

Section 31A is attracted only in cases where a person who has been convicted of either embezzlement of opium by a licensed cultivator (Section 19), unauthorized trade and external dealing in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances (Section 24), financing illicit trafficking and harbouring offenders (Section 27A) and for offences involving commercial quantity of any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance."
