  I understand. Brazil is the same. You get 30 years for killing 10 people, but if you are a good boy in prison you're out in less than 10 years. The problem is: some people think this justice system is fair or better than the ones from developed countries like USA, Japan or UK, for example.

  A Costa Rican court has sentenced a man to 22 years behind bars for the murder of an Indigenous land rights defender in 2020, in a case which stoked decades-old tensions between native communities and farmers over disputed territory.
  In 1977, legislation granted land ownership to Indigenous communities with historical ties to 24 legally recognised territories.
  The ruling represents the first sign of justice for Indigenous communities after more than 40 years of occupation by non-Indigenous Costa Ricans, which has led to "Systematic violence" by some farmers, the United Nations has said.

  To give more context, that law signed in 1977 has never been enforced, and there has been a recurrent problem of farmers abusing indigenous people here.
  This moron that murdered the Bhöran guy actually admitted that he killed him at a rally last year, and it was recorded and used as evidence in the trial. This mf shows no remorse and should rot in jail >
  
  Seems like an appropriate punishment for taking a life. Hopefully it’s an efficient deterrent. >
  
  Its always so impossible to decide what punishment one deserves to be given for murder... >
  
  Yeah. You're getting downvoted by people who think 20 years is enough for taking someone's else life. I guess that's how they value their own lives. >
  
  Not taking any sides, but here in Costa Rica, maximum sentence isn't long by any means (30 years, but I could be mistaken), so 20 years could actually be considered a long sentence given the circumstances.
  ​
  Taking sides: motherfucker should rot in prison and never see the light of day, as he clearly shows no remorse and premeditated every aspect of the crime. The murder of this particular person was made to intimidate indigenous settlements into abandoning their lands, all because the farmers wanted the government to give them more farmland and it wouldn't because the lands were occupied by indigenous people, so the logic was "if they leave, we can just take their land". (just to be clear, he didn't act alone, but he is the one being refered to atm)
