Government meets with death row prisoners and families of victims

PETALING JAYA: The Government has met with the families of victims and prisoners on death row in its process to gather views and perspectives over the abolishment of the death penalty.

De facto Law Minister Datuk Liew View Keong said families are surprised to find out that death row inmates are not immediately executed and that there are several court processes to go through before the death sentence is finally meted out.
