‘No automatic reprieve for convicts on death row’

PUTRAJAYA: There is no automatic reprieve for the 1,342 convicts on death row now, despite the proposal to abolish the mandatory death sentence.

Instead, the government is considering setting up a tribunal to review their cases, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Parliament), Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
