New Database Shows US Death Penalty Remains as Biased as High Court Ruled in 1972 - DPIC_我的网站

A |     "Marking tomorrow’s 50th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision in Furman v. Georgia, which struck down all of the nation’s death penalty statutes as arbitrary and capricious, the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) unveiled a first-of-its-kind database documenting more than 9,700 death sentences handed down across the country between the Court’s ruling in Furman and January 1, 2021," DPIC said in a press release.,"The data provide powerful evidence that the nation’s use of capital punishment continues to be arbitrary, unreliable, and infected with bias.",DPIC Executive Director Robert Dunham in the same release said the data shows "a wasteful punishment, incompetently applied and beset by arbitrary factors such as race, place, and time.","The Court said America wasn’t able to administer the death penalty fairly or reliably a half century ago. The data show we still can’t do it today," he said.,Human Dignity, Death Penalty Incompatible, Biden Must Act to End Practice, Rights Activist Says28 January, 18:55 GMT,Dunham said when a death sentence is imposed, it is most likely to be overturned. Meanwhile, fewer than 1.1 percent of all US counties account for half of the incarcerated individuals on death row, he added. Moreover, people sentenced to die 30 years ago are in danger of being executed for crimes where the death penalty would not even be imposed today, he added.,He said DPIC’s census database also verifies that "when it comes to executions, white lives matter more than Black lives. Executions carried out over the past 50 years were six times more likely to involve a white victim than only victims who were Black," he said.,Defendants of color were disproportionately likely to be wrongfully convicted of capital offenses, he added, took longer to be exonerated, and comprised an overwhelming majority of the likely intellectually disabled people who continue to be executed in the US despite the constitutional prohibition against that practice.,Dunham also said America’s death penalty is disproportionate in the way it is carried out in a small number of states and counties which engage in "outlier practices" and have an absence of meaningful judicial process.,The DPIC said death sentences declined in the US by approximately 90% after peaking at more than 300 per year for 3 straight years in the mid-1990s.。    By Mir Afroz Zaman

Dhaka, Oct 21 (UNI) An armed group named 'Kuki-Chin National Front' (KNF) is training some young men who have suddenly disappeared from different parts of Bangladesh in the remote hills bordering India and Myanmar, and a new militant organization is being formed.

Commander Al Moin, director of Rapid Action Battelion (RAB) media wing, presented this information at a press conference Friday.

At the press conference, RAB said recently, an operation was started in the hills to catch the top leaders of the new militant organization 'Jamatul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya'. Recently, in the name of newly so-called Hijrat (emigration or moving from one place to another) due to militancy, the homeless youth took shelter in hilly hideouts for Jamaatul Ansar. In these shelters, the young emigrants are being trained in handling heavy weapons.

Recently, RAB published the list of 55 youths from 19 districts who were driven out of their homes in the name of voluntary migration due to extremism. The full names and addresses of 38 of them were published.

RAB commander Khandaker Al Moin said more than half a hundred militants of the organization are believed to be hiding in the mountains. He also said the operation will continue until they are found completely.

Meanwhile, RAB arrested a total of 10 people, including seven from the new militant organization Jamaatul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya and three from the hill separatist organization, from different areas of Bandarban and Rangamati on Thursday night. During this time, a large amount of arms and ammunition were recovered from them.

A number of militants were arrested by the force.
