We Request You For Euthanasia: Nirbhaya Gangrape Convicts To President
Family members of the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case on Sunday wrote a letter to President Ram Nath Kovind seeking his permission for euthanasia.
Among those seeking euthanasia for convicts are elderly parents, siblings, and children.
“We request you for Euthanasia so as to stop any crime from happening in the future and another incident like Nirbhaya doesn’t happen", the families of the convicts said in the letter.
“In our country, even “Mahapapi” (great sinners) are forgiven. Revenge is not the definition of power. There is power in forgiving,” the letter read.
So far, President Ram Nath Kovind has rejected the mercy petitions of all the convicts in the matter.
