A Houthi-run court in Yemen has sentenced 13 people to public execution on homosexuality charges, a judicial source said Tuesday, as human rights groups decried a rise in abuses by the Iran-backed rebels.
The sentences were handed down in Ibb, a province controlled by the Houthis whose attacks on Red Sea shipping since November have prompted retaliatory strikes by the United States and Britain.
Three others were jailed on similar charges, according to the judicial source, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press.
Another 35 people have been detained by Houthis in Ibb province on homosexuality charges, the source said.
If we had a real true place to actually like, banish the ones who really couldn’t be taught to not be you know, like sadistic killers or some crazy CRAZY stuff I would totally agree with you. In a time where, say a benevolent AI could run an entire planet of habitual offenders of other’s rights and those people who (after repeated attempts at rehabilitation/therapy/education with all the correct and most up-to-date science about (whichever field in question)) can’t function in society without hurting other people can go BE. away from me then yes
I’d like to hope for a world where every affliction could be unlearned, or perhaps there is an environment where that kind of behavior can be tolerated (metamorphosis of prime intellect style)
But until then, on a finite planet, with individual beings… I’m not sure
EDIT: SHIT
Forgot where the heck I was and which post this was on. I got a little blazed and kept forgetting I was commenting this until I’d open my phone up.
NOT CONDONING THE FUCKING EXECUTION OF SOMEONE BASED ON WHAT HOLE THEY WANNA PLAY WITH
The problem people have with the death penalty isn’t that they disagree a serial child rapist should be executed. It’s that people get falsely sentenced. It happens, it always has happened, it always will happen.
