The PPP National President, Sumasy Singin said death penalty was a draconian and primitive law that has not proven to be a deterrent to serious crimes anywhere in the world.
Mr Singin said PPP has always opposed to death penalty with one of its founding members of the party and former Middle Fly MP, Warren Dutton who vehemently opposed capital punishment in any form.
“In the 21st Century Papua New Guinea cannot be resorting to a most primitive and barbaric act against Christian principles that God is the giver and taker of life,” he said.
