Public caning is glorifying cruelty in the name of morality, says Sisters in Islam

KUALA LUMPUR: Sisters in Islam (SIS) has called for the Terengganu religious authorities to cease imposing public caning on a man found guilty of committing khalwat (close proximity).

It also urged the Federal Government to immediately end all forms of corporal punishment, including public caning, as failing to do so could lead to irreparable damage to society.
