In Britain, it is necessary to legislatively introduce the death penalty for terrorist activities. To this opinion came the Independence Party of the United Kingdom (United Kingdom Independence Party, UKIP) after the terrible act of terrorism in Manchester. If necessary, politicians are even ready to bring this issue to the general referendum - the parties are sure that the people will support the initiative.

UKIP is not shy about the expressions. Terrorists deserve to die, declare in the party and collect under their wing as vigorous supporters of revenge for the death of people.

"We are at war, but war crimes and terror can not take over. ... I am a politician, and my job is to offer solutions. Today we must declare that the death penalty will be returned for terrorist crimes. Prevention is better than treatment, "- Izvestia quotes the statement of the European Parliament deputy from Great Britain, a member of the UKIP party Janice Atkinson.

The question of the death penalty in the country was especially acute after the explosion at the stadium "Manchester Arena" on Monday, May 22. The terrorist blended with the audience who came to the concert of the American youth singer, and activated the bomb. As a result, 22 people were killed, about 120 injured, the fate of several teenagers is still not known. Special services quickly found out the identity of the murderer - this is the born and grown up in Britain 22-year-old ethnic Libyan Salman Abedi. Of course, he will not be executed. But those who are associated with it can still be found and punished, intimidated, wiped off the face of the Earth - depending on the degree of involvement in terrorist activities. On this insist in UKIP. The party is even ready to hold a general referendum on this issue - they do not doubt that the people will support a tough initiative.

In principle, the British historically have been adherents of the death penalty. Until the middle of the 19th century, public executions were the favorite entertainment of the inhabitants of the Foggy Albion. The "Blood Code" provided for more than 200 crimes, for which they threw on the pillar without the right to appeal the sentence. Then the executions were stopped, but they continued to be executed and sentenced to hanging. Ban this type of punishment in the UK only in 2002. , When London ratified the 13th Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Citizens, however, were less humane than the British government. Even in a calm 2015.

Opinion polls showed that approximately 50% of the Kingdom's inhabitants consider it right to return the death penalty to the list of penalties for crimes. So UKIP will not be difficult to achieve a positive decision on the new initiative. Their previous idea - the withdrawal of Britain from the European Union - can be considered, implemented. Brexit launched. Now it is also possible to change the criminal legislation in accordance with their desires, without regard to Europe.

Currently, death sentences are enforced in China, the United States, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and another two dozen countries.
