Amnesty International India says the death penalty is never a solution to crimes against women. The death sentence of the four accused in the Nirbhaya case was the “dark spot” in India’s human rights history, the statement said. Amnesty International India Executive Director Avinash Kumar said that the death penalty is a symbol of determination to solve crimes. It is unfortunate that four people were executed for crimes against women. He added that Indian courts have repeatedly found this to be arbitrary and arbitrary.
