Hope for Human Rights says the move by the delegates to throw out the death penalty clause in the draft constitution gives hope to many Zambians and people on death row because everyone has the right to life.
Executive Director Smart Chanda has told Qfm News in an interview that the organisation has been overwhelmed because it has spent more time trying to sensitize the majority Zambians on how important life is to an individual.
Mr. Chanda explains that the right to life is such an important thing that any human being should appreciate at all costs.
He says Hope for Human Rights will always stand firm and ensure that Zambians enjoy their right to life.
Mr Chanda has since expressed hope that the death penalty clause will not be retained in the final document following the consensus reached by delegates at the constitution convention.
