Yes, for first degree murders.
@8WWYH9T2yrs2Y
No because you could kill some one innocent and life in prison is more harsh ect.
@8VYKPYH3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the convicted dosent have any real family (e.g a wife and kids)
@8JBKTZ93yrs3Y
No, as it could easily be used wrong.
@94HH78J2yrs2Y
No. Death might be the easy fix sometimes but it doesn't take away the suffering. A lifetime of free community service and regret in a contained environment would be a much worse penalty.

Uganda's constitutional court on Wednesday refused to annul or suspend an anti-LGBTQ law that includes the death penalty for certain same-sex acts, but voided some provisions it said are inconsistent with certain fundamental human rights.The legislation, adopted in May last year, is among the world's harshest anti-gay laws and has drawn condemnation from rights campaigners and sanctions from Western nations.Activists say the law has unleashed a torrent of abuse against LGBTQ people, including torture, rape, arrest and eviction."We decline to nullify the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 in its entirety, neither will we grant a permanent injunction against its enforcement," said lead judge Richard Buteera, reading the judgment on behalf of his four colleagues.However, the court struck down certain sections it said were "inconsistent with right to health, privacy and freedom of religion".The portions of the act that were voided criminalised the letting of premises for use for homosexual acts and failure to report homosexual acts.Under the Anti-Homosexuality Act, citizens had an obligation to report anyone they suspected of engaging in homosexuality. This requirement violated individual rights, the court found.The government will now have to remove these sections from the law, Edward Ssemambo, a human rights lawyer representing the petitioners, told Reuters.
