The Alliance of Deserters and Deaths: Executive Director Lin Hsin-yi calls the Government 'Abominable'—But How Abominable is Your Alliance?

This article critiques the statement made by Lin Hsin-yi, Executive Director of the Alliance for the Abolition of the Death Penalty, who called the government 'abominable' following the execution of death row inmates. The author argues that by constantly inflaming the death penalty debate, the Alliance itself is the 'greatest promoter' of these executions and should bear the primary karmic responsibility. While theoretically supporting the ideal of abolition, the author maintains that the government's actions are neutral—fulfilling legal requirements and the expectations of society and victims' families to protect the safety of the virtuous majority.
