Remember my April post on honor killings? If you remember, the sentencing was postponed to September and the family of the deceased has refused to budge. Negotiations have been going on for more than a year. Less than an hour ago the judge handling the case sentenced the killer. He is to be executed. I have received this news from 17 different sources in the past half hour, non of them official. However, I assume it's correct. Many details have emerged about the chaos inside the courtroom. In all cases, I have mixed feelings. He murdererd a man, and even though he deserves punishment, my heart feels heavy. Today I will be praying for the families of both the victim and the criminal. I can't even begin to imagine what they must be going through. This case has been the talk of Salalah for the past year and a half. Please pray for them.

thank you justice
ReplyDeletegood on the judge. Hope the sentence is justly implemented
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings too. Murderers should be punished, but is it right to us to decide whether another human should die?
ReplyDelete"we" are not deciding; there is no doubt as to the guilt of the accused. As a capital crime and under sharia, execution is the only just punishment.
ReplyDeleteI suggest that let this go ahead as verdicted. Please think of the bread winner who was killed. No one has rights to take the life. Rules are framed for harmony. If not , do you think we can life peacefully? No way. Delayed but Unbiased verdict. Let us accept it. Put your legs in shoes of deceased kin. Try to feel the pain. Simple - LIVE, LET LIVE - Netizen.
