IL GHANA HA ABOLITO LA PENA DI MORTE

Il Ghana ha abolito la pena di morte diventando il 124esimo Stato a livello globale a escludere la pena capitale in modo pressoché definitivo.

Con l’abrogazione della Legge sui reati penali del 1960 e della Legge sulle forze armate del 1962, il parlamento dello Stato africano ha stabilito che venga cancellata la pena di morte per tutti i reati comuni, con l’unica eccezione per il reato di alto tradimento. In Ghana non si eseguono condanne dal 1992 e la nazione è la 29esima del continente africano ad approvare la normativa abolizionista. Il Paese ha attualmente 170 uomini e sei donne detenuti nel braccio della morte, le cui condanne saranno ora commutate in ergastolo. La pena di morte fu adottata dal Ghana a partire dall’introduzione della common law inglese nel 1874 ed era prevista per i reati di omicidio, rapina a mano armata e alto tradimento.

“L’abolizione della pena di morte dimostra che siamo determinati come società a non essere disumani, incivili, chiusi, regressivi e oscuri” ha commentato il deputato Francis-Xavier Sosu che ha presentato il disegno di legge in parlamento. Molti Stati africani hanno cancellato la punizione capitale dalle loro costituzioni negli ultimi anni mentre altri non la eseguono praticamente più da molto tempo, come Algeria, Cameroun, Repubblica democratica del Congo, Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Marocco, Nigeria, Sudan, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda e Zimbabwe,

Ghana's parliament has voted to abolish the death penalty, joining a long list of African countries that have done so in recent years.

The country currently has 170 men and six women on death row, whose sentences will now be replaced by life imprisonment. The last execution took place in 1993.

Execution has been the mandatory sentence for murder in Ghana.

Opinion surveys suggest that most Ghanaians approve abolition.

Last year seven people were sentenced to death in Ghana - but none were executed. Treason has also been punishable by death in Ghana.

The bill to amend the Criminal Offences Act was put forward by MP Francis-Xavier Sosu and had the backing of the parliament's Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs.

A London-based campaign organisation, the Death Penalty Project (DPP), had worked with Mr Sosu to get the law changed.

A statement from DPP says Ghana is the 29th African country to abolish the death penalty, and the 124th globally.

In recent years many African states have abolished the death penalty, including Benin, Central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone and Zambia.

Mr Sosu said that "on death row, prisoners woke up thinking this could be their last day on earth. They were like the living dead: psychologically, they had ceased to be humans.

"Abolishing the death penalty shows that we are determined as a society not to be inhumane, uncivil, closed, retrogressive and dark."

He added this would pave the way to a free and progressive society reflecting "our common belief that the sanctity of life is inviolable".

“Do you really feel that way? That the Minutemen are no different from your old-world military?” Preston’s voice hits a strict pitch, and despite himself Xavier can’t suppress the reflexive way he tenses. Waiting for an order. This is exactly what he’s talking about.

“It’s different,” he admits. “But, it’s also not. Not for me, at least. I never wanted to fight, to kill…”

“You kill for the Railroad just fine.”

“That’s different too.”

A dense pause stamps down between them. Xavier stares at his boots and applies all the willpower he can to keep himself there, to keep from walking away before he has to explain himself anymore.

“I thought you wanted to help people,” says Preston. The intensity gone from his voice, replaced by the same, aching fatigue Xavier can feel inside his own bones.

“I do.”

Preston’s eyes cut back up to him. The sharp glint of the sun over the water casting gold reflections inside his dark eyes and the edge of his mouth where his smile lines might've been if this were any other conversation. “But not when it’s hard.”
