Anti-crime group assails church on death penalty.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Blanche S. Rivera
ANTI-CRIME crusaders yesterday rapped the influential Catholic Church for its anti-death penalty stance despite President Macapagal-Arroyo's decision to revive the death penalty for dealers and traffickers of illegal drugs.
The Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption said that Church leaders should not interfere in the anticipated lifting of the moratorium on judicial executions.
VACC founding chair Dante Jimenez said the response of the President to the Church's anti-death penalty crusade would indicate what her plans are for 2004.
If she changes her stance about imposing the death penalty on drug traffickers, then she is running, Jimenez said in a phone interview.
The President declared a moratorium on judicial executions last year to pacify the anti-death penalty lobbyists led by Church officials.
