My country's opinion

Peru rejects the Death Penalty.
The congress decided not to agree with the application of the Death Penalty. 49 congressman voted against it, while 26 were in favor. This was going to be applied to convicted terrorists which threatened the population and government of Peru, as well as its fame. They will only apply it in EXTREME circumstances.
Now there is a debate whether Joran Van Der Sloot who was captured in Chile and committed a crime in Peru, should be subjected to a Death Penalty. The question is will Peru bend its policy or will it just remain calmed in front of a situation which demands justice? Van Der Sloot has committed homicide (victim: Stephany Flórez) and as a normal action the family will want dignity upon their dead beloved familiar.
In 2007 President, Alan Garcia tried to introduced the death penalty against convicted terrorists but it was not accepted because 70% of the citizens did not agree and because it was breaking a Human Rights agreement Peru had signed.Alan Garcia, personally approves the death penalty for rapists of minor, I do agree that that action is barbarous but I do not know if I would apply a death penalty to that people. I guess I rather let them live with what they did in a prison instead of killing them, but it would cross my mind that they do deserve it but I believe that a better punishment than be incarcerated for years instead of death which would just end the blame, end their problems, end the consequences of their actions. Alan Garcia has even proposed a law which would also include terrorists, but has not been approved.
