I am neutral with the death penalty

Yes, but in a way where the criminal gets used for a science experiment/ drug experiments
@96KW3XM2yrs2Y
With a better justice system, yes.
@96J8VR22yrs2Y
Yes, but only if the country's justice system is fixed so that no one who was innocently convicted would receive such punishment.
@96CZV7S2yrs2Y
Would violate the human rights and no study show that death penalty is effective.

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.
