A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
My greatest fear has always been that I would be afraid — afraid physically or mentally or morally — and allow myself to be influenced by fear instead of by my honest convictions.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1942-08), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/28…

#Trump commuted the #prison sentences of several #ProudBoys & #OathKeepers leaders last January in a sweeping act of #clemency for all 1,500-plus defendants charged in the #Jan6, 2021, attack.
The request by the #DOJ would go a step further & ERASE the #convictions for the #extremist group leaders, including Oath Keepers founder #StewartRhodes.

[S]he brought some of those apples. I was obliged to eat them, I was so hungry. It was against my principles, but I find that principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.

#UK to #wipe #women’s #historic #convictions for #homosexuality
#RobCookson from the #LGBTFoundation said people should “never be #criminalised simply for #whotheyare and #whotheylove”. The criminalisation of gay men “made a huge, terrible #impact on many #people in our #community” and the widening the #disregards and the #pardons scheme was “only right”.

#Religiosity was linked to a higher number of #sex #offense #victims and more #convictions for #sexoffenses.
#Sexoffenders who reported regular #church #attendance, a #belief in #supernatural #punishment, and #religion as #important in their daily lives had more known #victims, #youngervictims, and more #convictions for #SexOffenses than the #sexoffenders who reported #irregular or #no #church #attendance and no or less intense #allegiance to #religiousbeliefs and #practices.

Japan to Hold Retrial for Decades-Old Death Sentence. Case Highlights Cruelty of ‘Hostage Justice System,’ Capital Punishment
This month, public #prosecutors in #Japan said they would not appeal the #Tokyo High Court’s decision to hold a retrial for Iwao #Hakamada, an 87-year-old former professional #boxer arrested in August 1966 and sentenced to death for the murder of a family of four. This is the 5th time a #deathpenalty case will be retried in Japan. In earlier cases, the defendants were all acquitted.
Hakamada’s case is just one of countless examples of Japan’s so-called “hostage justice system,” in which suspects are frequently detained prior to #judgement for long and arbitrary periods – sometimes up to several months or years – to obtain their confessions. According to his legal team, in 1966 #police interrogated Hakamada for an average of 12 hours a day, with some interrogations running as long as 17 hours. He was questioned without his #lawyer, as permitted under Japanese law, and denied water and restroom breaks. In a letter recalling his experience, Hakamada said authorities threatened him, saying, “if we report your cause of death as an illness, that’s the end of it,” before beating him with a police baton.
It’s now rare for Japanese police to physically abuse suspects during interrogation. But authorities still coerce confessions during the pre-indictment detention period. Suspects can’t apply for bail before being indicted, and courts routinely deny bail during trial for those who do not confess. Most detainees are held in #cells located inside police stations and placed under constant #surveillance, including during mealtimes and in bathrooms. Courts often issue restrictions on communications, denying the accused permission to meet, call, or write letters to anyone other than their lawyers. More than 99 percent of Japanese trials result in #convictions.
For decades, Hakamada has claimed his #innocence. If he is found not #guilty, his case will be another stark reminder not just of the flawed justice process in Japan, but that the death penalty should be abolished because it is a cruel, irreversible and irreparable form of #punishment. Activists have long raised concerns that #deathrow inmates are notified of their #execution only the day it occurs. For years, Hakamada lived in fear of being executed on any given day.
Japan should urgently reform its justice system by eliminating the “hostage justice system” and abolishing the death penalty.

Surely we #evangelical #christians can hold our #theological #convictions firmly, but do so with #graciousness, #love, and #humility !
I can’t read Jesus’s call to be salt and light for the world (Matthew 5:13-16) without holding all the above together.
