Na wah oh! Di former president of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, dey face serious wahala as dem don carry matter wey fit land am for death penalty come court. Dis one no be small thing o! Di prosecutors dey push for di highest punishment because dem believe say e don do bad by imposing martial law for December 2024.
Dis martial law wey e put down cause gbege wey scatter everywhere. People waka come outside for protest like sey dem set fire for di ground. Even di lawmakers self no fit hold body, dem rush enter National Assembly join mind to cancel di martial law within hours. Yoon dey go impeach, and di Constitutional Court no give am chance. E no even finish there; di people no comfortably rest until Yoon pack im load come out!
Now, Chiara Sangiorgio wey dey represent Amnesty International don talk say nobody dey above di law, even if na former president. But e no gree say death penalty na di way to go. She yarn say di punishment dey cruel and e no fit match any justice system wey claim sey dem dey respect human rights. Wetin Yoon do fit put human rights in jeopardy, but seeking for death penalty na serious step backward.
As e be now, dem don dey talk sey South Korea suppose think am well well and make dem carry this death penalty matter go back to di drawing board. Di people need make dem sabi say di law suppose protect dem dignity first. Chiara don stress am sey South Korea suppose make move to abolish di death penalty once and for all. We sabi say accountability dey important, but punishing person for di sake of punishing no go help.
Di matter be sey, if di death penalty enter South Korea law, wetin we go call this one? Na dem dey plan for di future of di next generations or na wahala wey go dey lead to more wahala? We still dey see di implications of imposition martial law wey lead to dis chaotic protests and removal wahala wey come fall upon di former president’s head.
So wetin una think? E go make sense make dem begin dey chop people head for di thing wey we fit reconsider? Make we hold our breath, as we dey watch as di saga dey unfold under di South Korean sun!
