The Dalai Lama has asked for Saddam Hussein to be spared the death sentence. The Dalai Lama asked the Iraqi authorities to consider that the guilty should get a chance to reform.
In a statement, issued from his office in India, the Dalai Lama said:
"The death penalty, although fulfils a preventive function, is clearly a form of revenge.
However horrible the act committed, His Holiness believes that everyone has the potential to improve and correct themselves."
Adding:
"His Holiness hopes that in this case, as in all others, human life will be respected and spared."
