Human rights.

Human rights

Looking in the net I read a new that in this time unfortunately is really common.

This news article speaks about a man that mistreats his wife, and after the judge ordered him to stay away from her, but finally the man goes to his house and has an argument with his wife and kills her.


This kind of behaviour violates the human rights because nowbody has the right to ill treat other or kill anybody. The murder is penalizing for the law of every different country. And murder violates the list of the human rights.
This kind of assassinates (the husband or boyfriend kills his lover) I think that the law must be harsher.
