Capital punishment in Pakistan: 'Islam does not promote the death penalty'

In Pakistan, where capital punishment is still practiced, lawyer Sarah Belal has been a staunch advocate for the most vulnerable prisoners through her organization, the Justice Project Pakistan. Belal argues that Islam does not support the death penalty, challenging the legal system's reliance on it. Her work highlights broader debates about human rights and the interpretation of religious laws, emphasizing the need for justice reform in the country. This effort is crucial as it touches on fundamental issues of morality, human rights, and the legal system's alignment with humanitarian values.
