Data provided by the "No Hands Off Cain "showed that 98% of executions in the world happens in authoritarian countries, repressive regimes like China, Iran, Saudi Arabia. In countries where democracy has not yet been established and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is often forgotten, justice is meant as revenge, and applies the death penalty in the certainty that the problem will be solved as soon as the guilty will suffer the same treatment that he has given to his victim. There are other countries, instead, with a long democratic tradition and respect for human rights, but still apply the death penalty. They are civilized countries, advanced, modern, who are often mythologized by the mass media and popular beliefs. But what happens Even if these countries, so civil and democratic rights, they resort to the ancient formula "eye for eye, tooth for a tooth"? What if it sets up a stage in prisons, where the victim's family can see the show of exemplary punishment given to the executioner? Violence begets hatred, revenge generates hatred, and hatred can only create more hatred. A State may not be called democratic if he commits the crime of murder masquerading in "justice." Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani and Teresa Lewis are two women who have had two different lives, they lived at opposite corners of the world, have grown up with a different education, culture and traditions. There is only one common factor these two women were sentenced to death penalty. The first and the second by stoning by lethal injection, subjected to a treatment that goes against all logic of rehabilitation and welcome useful to help those who have erred in not making the same mistakes. Sakineh Ashtiani Mohammad, Iranian woman of forty-three years has been accused of adultery (which is considered a crime in Iran and is punishable by death) and of complicity in the murder of her husband, who was involved in one of two loving woman. Sakineh denied having committed adultery and had been complicit in the murder in her husband, but then confessed to both crimes during the trial, his lawyer argued that she had been tortured and threatened for two days. Initially sentenced to death by stoning, following the international outcry and requests for help from children of the woman at the Vatican, the Italian State, and many other European countries, the Iranian Embassy in London issued a statement on July 8, 2010 stating that the condemnation of Sakineh Ashtiani Mohammadi was executed by hanging. However, his legal position is unclear, since his attorney has not received any official communication from the commutation of his death sentence. So far there have been no changes, and the Iranian regime has suspended the sentence, and explaining that 'still under review. Teresa Lewis was sentenced to death in 2003 for plotting the assassination of her husband and adopted son to him. Despite calls for clemency to the governor of Virginia came from all parts of the world, the woman was executed September 23, 2010 in "Greensville Correctional Center, which had been in prison for seven years. Teresa's lawyers have argued to the end that she had been duped by two accomplices, the more astute of you, and that the woman suffered from a personality disorder that made it official, had even submitted a letter of the two men, who admitted that he manipulated. Among other things, Lewis was an intellectual coefficient of 72, just two points above the threshold that marks the boundary office for which an execution is unconstitutional (70 or less). Two women with different lives, different native countries, cultures, traditions, and different types of education, condemned to the same, inhumane, unnecessary and cruel treatment.
