``Our opposition is
grounded not so much upon our concern with what the death penalty does to
killers, but because of what the death penalty does to us, to society.
We believe that a replication by the state of the deadly violence that
took our loved ones from us make us all killers. And from our victim
identity, we do not want to be killers."
MVFHR Executive Director, Renny Cushing,
speaking
to the North Korean National Assembly, November, 2004
