Proposals mulled to resolve inmates’ fate on death row

Rethinking execution: Johari is in favour of abolishing the mandatory death sentence.

PETALING JAYA: The King granting a general amnesty were among proposals raised on how to resolve the fate of the 1,327 inmates currently on death row following plans to consider doing away with the mandatory death sentence.

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul said that a special tribunal could be set up to look into the death row cases to see what is to become of them.
