Rebellion should be punishable by death – VACC

THE attack in Marawi City by members of the Maute terrorist group should serve as a wakeup call for lawmakers to support and speed up the passage of the bill that seeks to reinstate the death penalty, anti-crime advocates said on Monday.

The Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) said Congress should prioritize the passage of the death penalty measure and not limit it to high-level drug trafficking.
