We, the comrades of
Unit 1012: The VFFDP, whose group consists of murdered victims’ families and
friends welcome the death sentence and thank the Moroccan people for endorsing
it. We also support Louisa Jespersen’s mother for wanting justice for her
daughter. We will write an opinion piece on our thoughts.

Three
extremists who #beheaded
two #women in
the Atlas mountains, Morocco, have been sentenced to death by firing squad. ☠️☠️☠️🌟🌟
Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway, were both found dead on December 17 last year. They had pitched up in a ‘remote mountainous region’ 6.2 miles away from the village of Imlil, at the foot of Mount Toubkal, when they were killed in their tent. Today ringleader Abdessamed Ejjoud, Younes Ouaziyad, 27, and Rachid Affati, 33, received the maximum penalty for their murders. The group, who pledge allegiance to the Islamic State, previously admitted filming themselves killing the women before posting the footage online. |
The mother of Louisa Jespersen:
"The most just thing would be to give these beasts the death penalty they deserve, I ask that of you," said Helle Petersen in a letter read by her lawyer in an anti-terrorist court in Sale, near the capital Rabat. "My life was destroyed the moment that two policemen came to my door on December 17th to announce my daughter's death," the mother of 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager Jespersen wrote in the letter, read out in total silence and with the defendants' faces impassive.“It will bring some sort of justice to our daughters. They go around and kill people, now they will feel what is like to be sentenced to death. That is the bigger picture I try to focus on, justice for our girls and our families and to prevent them from killing again.” – Helle Petersen, the mother of Louisa Jespersen, told the news after the killers were sentenced to death.
The
two quotes above are from Helle Petersen, the mother of 24-year-old Louisa
Vesterager Jespersen, who supports the death sentence for the killers. We, the
comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, stand with her and walk in her shoes and we
not only agree with her strongly but with also went through what she had to go
through and we will not forget her daughter. She wants justice and she is not
revengeful at all.

The Death Penalty Opponents are silence:
“I am against the death penalty, but not in the case of my father.”– Niklas Frank, son of Hans Frank, Nazi War criminal.
We noticed that no government official nor Anti-Death Penalty activist
complained when those killers were sentenced to death. They did not go to the Moroccan
embassy of their various countries and protest the death sentence.
They most probably are
similar to Niklas Frank, Alan
Dershowitz and W.
James Antle III and Eric
Zorn. They all oppose capital punishment but concede that the worst of the
worst should be put to death.

The Firing Squad
We welcome the fact
that the three of them will be executed by the firing squad and not by a painless death of
lethal injection. The three of them reminds us of the three Bali Bombers
executed by firing squad on November 9, 2008, where one of them Amrozi,
despite his carefree demeanor throughout his trial
and incarceration, he was reported to have been pale faced and shaking in the
moments before his execution.

Trial in killing of two Scandinavian
students
Published on May 7, 2019
(2 May 2019) Twenty-four men accused of being
involved in the deaths of two Scandinavian tourists appeared in a Moroccan
court on Thursday. The bodies of 24-year-old Danish visitor Louisa Vesterager
Jespersen and 28-year-old Norwegian tourist Maren Ueland were found in the
country's Atlas Mountains in December 2018.
The suspects have all been charged with numerous
offences including forming a gang to prepare and carry out terror attacks.
Prosecutors have described the murders as a
terrorist act, after a video surfaced online of the murdered tourists swearing
allegiance to the Islamic State group.
Defence lawyer for the family of murdered tourist
Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, Khalid El Fataoui, said that he will argue in
court that the suspects should receive the death penalty.
"We will be making our case and requesting the
maximum sentence for these suspects to ensure prevention," El Fataoui
said. The trial's opening session has been delayed until May 16.

What if they were allowed to live?
Of the 23 men convicted,
only three of them were sentenced to death. It was good that the trio got the
death penalty, because if they were allowed to keep their lives, they might get
released or plan more attacks behind bars. It was good that they were charged
in Morocco, not Norway where they might get a comfortable 20 year prison
sentence in a ‘Hotel Style’
Prison.
As the Lech Kaczynski
said:
 |
|
“Countries that give up this penalty award an
unimaginable advantage to the criminal over his victim, the advantage of life
over death.”
[Mr. Kaczynski said in July 2006. His coalition
partner, the far-right League of Polish Families, wants to change the country’s
penal code so that pedophiles convicted of murder will face execution.]

They all have no right
to life.
Special thanks to the Moroccans:
We,
the comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, send our special and utmost thanks to the
Moroccans who condemned the murders and also show support to the victims and
their families.
Crowds of Moroccans, men and women, gathered Saturday (December 22, 2018) morning in front of the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Rabat, carrying banners with messages of solidarity. The banners read “No to terrorism,” and “We are all Danish and Norwegian.”

We thank those Moroccans who petitioned the government to bring back the
death penalty for the perpetrators.
A Moroccan has mounted a Change.org petition, calling on the Ministry of Justice to sentence the murderers of 28-year-old Maren Ueland from Norway and 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager Jespersen from Denmark to death.<<“The death penalty is undoubtedly the right solution to this horrible crime, as [a] Moroccan, I request the application of Articles 393, 399 of the Moroccan Penal Code”, the petition reads.>>

Last of all, those Moroccans
were united to seek justice for the victims and they were united in doing so.
They are the kind of good people who truly have compassion and care for the
murdered victims and their families. We also will not forget the lawyer who
represented the two murder victims, we say thank you.

Vigils in Morocco for murdered Nordic
hikers
Published on Dec 27, 2018
(22 Dec 2018) Several hundred people on
Saturday paid tribute on Saturday to two Scandinavian university students who were
killed on a hiking trip to Morocco.
A memorial service for 28-year-old
Norwegian Maren Ueland and 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager Jespersen was held in
front of the Norwegian and Danish embassies in the capital, Rabat.
The women's bodies were found on Monday
in a village near Morocco's Toukbal mountain.
A total of 13 men have been detained in
connection with the murders, which authorities in Morocco consider a terrorist

Morocco is generally considered safe for
tourists but it has been routing out Islamic extremists for years.

of capital punishment. Von Goethe was right all along:
