Bar Council: Whipping cruel and inhuman
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar Council has reiterated its stand against whipping and called on the authorities to overturn the sentence meted out against Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno.
“Our position echoes international human rights norms that condemn whipping and other forms of corporal punishment as cruel, inhuman or degrading and call for its abolition,” Bar Council president Ragunath Kesavan said in a statement on Monday.
There was evidence that whipping has failed as a deterrent sentence, he added.
Ragunath urged the Government to reject whipping as a form of sentencing for any offence and to abolish it altogether. - + selanjutnya
