Amnesty International calls for moratorium on death penalty to be continued


PETALING JAYA: Following the Bills tabled in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (March 27) paving the way towards the abolition of the mandatory death penalty, a human rights group has urged for the moratorium on executions which has been in place since 2018 to also be maintained.

Amnesty International Malaysia’s executive director Katrina Jorene Maliamauv said the moratorium should proceed until the death penalty was fully abolished, with death sentences commuted.
