Alexandria Declaration on Death Penalty

Point 5 of the Declaration is crucial. I am having discussions with Muslim leaders in Bangkok regarding a seminar on Islamic perspectives on the death penalty. It is a very gradual process. There is hope in emphasizing the repentance which makes forgiveness and reconciliation possible. And who can declare a day when the possibility of repentance is ended?
