Convict's family distraught over last-minute notice of execution


PETALING JAYA: Amnesty International Malaysia has come out strongly against what it calls the Prisons Department’s practice of “secretive” executions, in the latest case informing a family of the execution of their son at the last minute. 

Its executive director Shamini Darshni said that the family of convict P. Gunasegar (pic), 35, was only informed on Wednesday that they should visit him for the last time as he would be executed "soon".
