Attorney General Azima Shukoor has drafted a bill outlining how the
death sentence should be executed in the Maldives, with lethal injection
being identified as the state’s preferred method of capital punishment.
Shukoor today held a press conference to provide local media with
information about the bill, which is also to be opened for public
comment.
The Attorney General’s Office has said that it has looked to
procedures followed by Egypt, Malaysia and the US in carrying out the
death sentence, while also obtaining the opinions of religious scholars
and lawyers when drafting the bill.
With the bill favouring the use of lethal injection to execute
suspected criminals, Shukoor said the proposals would be open for public
comment for one month.
