No mercy for rapists, ensure the highest form of punishment: Mim
Mim believes that when that death penalty is enforced, potential criminals will be afraid to commit such crimes. "Light punishments like imprisonment or monetary fines are not enough. Hearing about the death penalty will surely instil fear, and no one will dare to commit such horrific crimes. When the talk of execution spreads among people, crimes will decrease rapidly. There will be no mercy for rapists, no sympathy for them. We demand justice, and the punishment must be executed immediately."
