 This is not a dancing club. Far from it, it is a women's prison in Sierra Leone. They are dancing to celebrate a life spared. Some of these women are escaping the hangman's noose. On October the 25th, the judge been passivated, said, condemned by hanging. But last year, 2021, ending of December, nine the manager called, we say, they don't put that death penalty, they don't put that condemn. They say life imprisonment is 90 now. It is a welcome relief. Well, in other way round, we feel good. Even the life imprisonment is too hard. In July 2021, Sierra Leone's parliament abolished the death penalty. Aggravated robbery, murder, prison and mutiny have been grounds for capital punishment under Sierra Leone's constitution. These offenses will now be punished by sentencing to life imprisonment with a minimum of a 30-year jail term. What happened in 2016 when there was the UPR cycle, the recommendations that were made to Sierra Leone, the government committed to enforcing those recommendations and one of which was key was the abolition of the death penalty. The human rights impact of the end of capital punishment in Sierra Leone is up one. We would now not ever be in a position where anyone, no matter the offence they have committed, will be killed for something that an offence did not commit. We do know that people end up sometimes with the death penalty for offences that have not been proven that they have committed. So that is out of the way. Secondly, the reason society creates punishment for criminals is to reform them. It is not to eliminate them from society. And there is a lot of potential in terms of the contribution that they can make if we reform them through the correctional services and they are able to be integrated. Or even if they are to stay in the correctional services for life, they can still make contributions while serving their lifetimes.
