Suvio Bellaron is one of the Gallente Federation Senators for Intaki. He is best know for his attempts to get the Senate to ban capital punishment in the Federation.
Political positions
Bellaron started out not opposing the death penalty outright, but objecting to the manner of the public execution of Anvent Eturrer—a former Grand Admiral of the Federation Navy—for treason. This led him to propose a ban on public executions in YC111[1]. The bill was ultimately defeated by procedural means.
By YC121 Bellaron's views had evolved to the point where he proposed a ban on capital punishement altogether[2].
Progress of the YC121 bill
Bellaron's YC121 bill banning capital punishment was introduced on January 18[2]. It moved out of committee, to be debated by the Senate plenary, on March 18[3]. Opponents of Bellaron's ban were able to delay debate on the draft bill for months by means of procedural tricks[4]. The bill was debated on the senate floor in the month of May[5].
