Agree

No, sentence them to life in prison without parole instead

ALDE might support severe penalties for serious crimes like drug trafficking, but within the framework of human rights and rehabilitation. Life imprisonment without parole could be seen as a tough but more humane alternative to the death penalty.

Disagree

Yes, but only if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked

Although specifying a condition where someone died from the trafficked drugs might seem like a justifiable reason for harsher punishment, ALDE's overall stance on human rights and opposition to the death penalty suggests they would still likely disagree with this approach.

Disagree

Strongly disagree

Yes, as long as they are given a fair trial
