It’s a critical step in ensuring human rights, says Amnesty

PETALING JAYA: The tabling of the Bills to end the mandatory death sentence is a critical step to improving the protection of human rights in our criminal justice system, says Amnesty International Malaysia.

Commending the government’s move, the human rights group said the Bills, if successfully adopted, would have a direct impact not only on those on death row but also their family members, who had been long awaiting this reform.
