How do you think of capital punishment??   Justice minister opposes capotal punishment repeal    Justice Minister Kim Seung-kyu said yesterday the death penalty should not be scrapped, signaling a possible conflict with the state-run human rights agency and political groups pushing to abolish capital punishment. Kim made his stance clear the day after the National Human Rights Commission tentatively decided to recommend to the government that it repeal the death penalty because it is cruel and undermines human dignity. At a meeting with reporters before attending the weekly Cabinet meeting, Kim said he instructed his staff to review the commission's recommendation but stated he was opposed to scrapping capital punishment. "The life of a criminal may be important, but isn't the life of a victim also important?" he asked. As part of his rationale for opposing abolition of capital punishment, the minister gave as an example serial killer Yoo Young-chul, a death row inmate since last December after he was convicted of killing 21 people. He also cited a 2004 private opinion poll in which 66.3 percent of respondents supported capital punishment. "A sense of justice lies in the minds of the public, which means a murderer should pay the price with his life when he takes somebody's life," Kim said. He also rebuffed a measure signed by 175 lawmakers across party lines proposing to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment without parole or pardon. In February, the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee started general deliberation on a bill to ban capital punishment. It is expected to get approval since the number of sponsoring lawmakers exceeds a simple majority in the Assembly. "Life imprisonment could be more inhumane, because there's no hope at all, even if (the convicted) leads a very good life in prison," Kim asaid. There are currently 59 people on death row, but the last execution was in Dec.23 1997, shortly before former President Kim Dae-jung took office.   원문 : <A href="http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/archives/result_contents.asp">http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/archives/result_contents.asp</A>
