Petition Capital punishment for those convicted of terrorism, murder or intentional harm

We want the government to reinstate capital punishment for those who have committed terror offences, murder or intentional harm.

More details

We think the cost of prisoners is already excessive. We feel that capital punishment is a fitting punishment for heinous criminals instead of keeping them locked away for life, which we think is a taxpayer burden.
