The special task force set-up to look at alternative sentencing for death row prisoners is expected to submit its report by January next year, according to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Liew Vui Keong.
Speaking to reporters after an International Human Rights Day commemoration event in Kuala Lumpur today, Liew said the study was required as the proposed abolishment of the mandatory death penalty would have serious implications on existing sentences.
He pointed out that the implications of introducing alternative sentences include the possible release of death row inmates.
