No mercy for rapists, ensure the highest form of punishment: Mim

Mim believes that when that death penalty is enforced, potential criminals will be afraid to commit such crimes. "Light punishments like imprisonment or monetary fines are not enough.

There will be no mercy for rapists, no sympathy for them. We demand justice, and the punishment must be executed immediately."
