A post on X demanded, “Death penalty should be handed to anyone who manufactures or sells fake consumable products.” That call clearly comes from horror and rage — people are dying from poisoned food and medicine, and many feel the state has failed to protect them. But capital punishment is not the answer: it risks miscarriages of justice, ignores root causes (corruption, weak regulation, poverty-driven counterfeit markets), and removes the chance for restorative justice. Instead, push for robust regulation, heavy fines, long jail terms for proven offenders, stronger supply-chain checks, public awareness campaigns, and protection for whistleblowers. Justice must be swift and certain — not simply cruel. Accountability + prevention will save more lives than calls for vengeance.
