1) Malaysia has executed 441 people since 1960, with the majority (52%) being for drug trafficking offenses and only 18% for murder.
2) 81% of those executed did not directly take a life. 130 were executed under the ISA which mandates the death penalty, rather than other laws.
3) Abolishing the death penalty is needed to prevent the risk of wrongful convictions resulting in innocent lives being taken by the state. No justice system is perfect and mistakes cannot be reversed.
The document summarizes the work of MADPET (Malaysians Against Death Penalty and Torture) in advocating for the abolition of the death penalty in Malaysia. It provides statistics on death penalty cases in Malaysia and outlines MADPET's strategies which include online presence, public awareness events, media statements, and collaboration with other groups. It acknowledges the challenges to abolition given Malaysia's legal and socio-political context but expresses MADPET's ongoing commitment to expanding the movement through diverse partnerships and a human rights framework.
Death Penalty in Malaysia – Time for Abolition - Charles Hectoreasytocall
This document discusses the death penalty in Malaysia. It provides statistics showing that over 80% of those executed in Malaysia since 1960 were not convicted of murder, and over 50% were for drug trafficking offenses. It argues that the death penalty should be abolished to prevent the possibility of wrongful convictions leading to innocent lives being taken. The document notes that several groups in Malaysia support abolishing the death penalty, including the Malaysian Bar and Human Rights Commission. It calls on the Malaysian government to abolish the death penalty and impose an immediate moratorium on carrying out death sentences.
The documents discuss the issues of wrongful convictions and capital punishment. Specifically:
1) The first document discusses the case of Chiang Kuo-ching in Taiwan who was wrongfully executed for a crime he did not commit after being coerced into a false confession.
2) Catholic Bishops in Texas argue that modern societies have means of keeping offenders from harming others without capital punishment and that it contributes to a climate of violence.
3) Multiple documents discuss arguments against capital punishment including the risk of wrongful convictions due to fallible justice systems, lack of evidence that it deters crime more than life imprisonment, and that victims' families are not unanimously in support of execution as a form of justice.

Study Green IT - More than a passing fad!Florian König
Green IT has significant potential to save resources both within IT systems themselves and by enabling resource efficiencies across the broader economy through intelligent IT solutions. While awareness of the differences between "green in IT" and "green by IT" is growing among companies, there is still room for improvement. The survey found that top management is often the driver of green IT projects but budget responsibility is rarely consolidated below the executive level. Additionally, investment risk and lack of experience were cited as major barriers to green IT implementation. Support from policymakers, consumers, and staff training were areas identified as needing further development to realize green IT's untapped potential.

It notes that between 1975-1991 around 40 people were executed in India, though the exact number is disputed. The document also discusses the Indian Penal Code provisions for which capital punishment is allowed and some controversial Supreme Court cases related to the death penalty. More than two-thirds of countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice, with 140 countries total being abolitionist. The document concludes by arguing that the death penalty is a cruel punishment and that India should review its stance on capital punishment.

This document discusses how terrorism threatens human rights and the challenges counter-terrorism measures pose to human rights. It outlines several human rights, such as the right to life and freedom from torture. While states have an obligation to protect citizens from terrorism, recent counter-terrorism laws and practices have threatened individuals' right to privacy, freedom from discrimination, and fair trials. Security techniques like passenger profiling, detention without charge, extraordinary rendition, and torture have been criticized for violating basic human rights principles.
The Supreme Court termed the misuse of Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code as "legal terrorism".
1) The bench agreed that Section 498A was being misused through frivolous cases filed by women to harass their in-laws.
2) The judges called on the legislature to refine Section 498A and find ways to appropriately deal with frivolous complaints.
3) However, the government and legislature have not taken sufficient action to stop this legal terrorism as directed by the Supreme Court.
P eople's Tribunal on the Prevention of Terrorist Act (POTA) and Other Securi...sabrangsabrang
This document provides background information on the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) passed by the Indian Parliament in 2002. It summarizes the controversy around POTA's passage and concerns that it could be misused due to its broad definitions of terrorism. Critics argue POTA violates civil liberties and international human rights standards more than previous anti-terrorism laws like TADA. It allows detention without charge for up to 180 days, treats certain activities like membership in certain groups as criminal offenses without requiring criminal intent, and restricts due process in trials under POTA.
The document discusses the goals of punishment in relation to the death penalty. It analyzes whether the death penalty achieves the goals of retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and restoration. It also provides an overview of the death penalty in Malaysia, including the offenses that carry the death penalty and recent proposals to reform it. While the death penalty can achieve retribution and deterrence, its ability to further incapacitation and rehabilitation is debated. Restoration is incompatible with the death penalty. The document concludes by noting public support for the death penalty in Malaysia but acknowledges reforms remain at the government's discretion.

Next, it outlines several approaches to crime prevention, including situational crime prevention, safeguarding methods, and social development prevention. It provides examples of national plans and guidelines for crime prevention. Finally, it discusses the role of government leadership, education, partnerships, and data in developing effective long-term strategies to reduce crime.
This document is a study by Amnesty International India on pre-trial detention in India. It finds that India has one of the highest proportions of pre-trial (undertrial) detainees in the world, who make up around 67% of the prison population. Various laws and Supreme Court rulings have aimed to reduce excessive pre-trial detention, but implementation has been poor across states. Amnesty analyzed responses from Right to Information requests which revealed that legal safeguards are regularly ignored and undertrials often do not receive proper legal aid or access to courts. The high proportion of undertrials reflects failure by governments to uphold fair trial rights.
Just Under Trial: A Study of Pre-trial Detention in IndiaAmnesty India
India has one of the highest undertrial populations in the world. As of December 2015, 67% of prisoners in India’s
prisons were ‘undertrials’ – people who were awaiting trial or whose trials were still ongoing, and who have not been convicted.1 In other words, there are twice as many undertrials in India’s prisons as there are convicts. Figure 1 below shows the state-wise population of undertrials and prison occupancy rates.
The document discusses India's recent decision to decriminalize attempted suicide by repealing Section 309 of the Indian Penal Code. It provides background on the classification of suicide and attempted suicide. It notes that 18 states and 4 union territories supported the Law Commission's recommendation to remove the section. Some states expressed reservations about the move. The document discusses arguments for and against decriminalization, including that punishing attempts is inhumane and survivors need medical help rather than prosecution. It also discusses suicide rates in India and worldwide. Overall, the document examines perspectives on both sides of the debate around decriminalizing attempted suicide in India.

The document discusses women and children's rights in Bangladesh under both constitutional and international law. It notes that while the Bangladeshi constitution guarantees equality, women and children still face discrimination in practice due to factors like poverty and illiteracy. It outlines the various laws and protections in place, including personal laws governing marriage and family matters, as well as general criminal laws against issues like dowry and child marriage. However, it notes there are still problems in effective implementation and enforcement of these laws to fully protect women and children's rights in reality.
India is considered a safe haven for criminals due to widespread corruption, a backlogged judicial system, and the presence of criminals in politics. The country's laws are often not enforced strictly, and criminals can easily avoid punishment through delays, appeals, and political influence. As a result, crimes like murder, kidnapping, robbery and terrorism are regularly committed with little consequence to the perpetrators. Reform is needed to strengthen law enforcement, speed up the judicial process and keep criminals out of elected office to make India less safe for criminal activities.
The document defines torture according to international law as severe pain intentionally inflicted by officials for purposes such as obtaining information or punishment. Torture is prohibited by the Afghan constitution and penal code. The AIHRC's 2013 monitoring found 73 instances of torture in detention centers, with common forms being beating, suspension, and genital torture.

And, 81 percent of them did not directly take
another human being’s life. (Murder – 78 or 18%)

Malaysiakini, 3/2/2005, Gov't reveals execution statistics: 358 hanged in 24 years
6. Abolition of the Death Penalty is needed to
prevent the real possibility of depriving an
innocent person of life
“No criminal justice system is perfect. You
take a man’s life and years later, you find out
that another person did the crime. What can
you do?” - Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz, Minister in the Prime Ministers
Department
“The law is the law but I wish Parliament
would abolish the death sentence because if a
mistake is made, it would be irreversible.
There are other ways of dealing with heinous
crimes,” - Datuk K.C. Vohrah, Former Court of Appeal judge
7. Factors that make wrongful
conviction a real possibility…
Tunnel vision by the police and prosecutors
Desire to win and not to ensure justice by prosecutors..
Judges’ prejudice – belief that police and prosecutors are right &
accused are ‘guilty’
Judicial system – fulfilling quotas, denial of the full right to mount a
defence – ‘irrelevance’, excluding witnesses, etc..
Lack of capacity of accused to rebut presumptions and prejudices
Lawyers (many do not conduct independent investigations and only
strive to rebut prosecution witnesses)
….and the list goes on…
8. So who wants the death penalty?
You?
Malaysians?
The Victims or their families?
Your religion?
Your moral values?
OR
Maybe no one…or not the majority of Malaysians
Because many really have not given much thought about
it OR maybe just do not have the required information
and arguments to make an informed decision

an easy target for drug-trafficking syndicates looking

has an estimated audience of about 80,000, conducted a phone-in poll,
and the result was that 64% of persons that responded were for the
abolition of the death penalty.
Malaysian Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM) is
against capital punishment. “…It is our hope that we would
be able to do away with this inhumane form of punishment
one day. Suhakam had recommended that the Government
consider placing a moratorium on capital punishment with
a view to abolishing it in the future…” (5/2/2011)
16. Malaysians FOR abolition of the
death penalty
The Malaysian government, by its actions has shown
that it is also against the death penalty – preferring
that it be commuted to life imprisonment, and it has
to be seen to be consistent in its stance also for
Malaysia – not just in situations of Malaysians facing
the death penalty in other countries
‘The Foreign Ministry sent a clemency appeal for Malaysian
Ong Kim Fatt who is on death row in China for drug
trafficking’, said its Deputy Minister Datuk Lee Chee
Leong. (Star, 24/4/2009, Govt asks that death row man be given life sentence instead)
17. The Death Penalty Is An Extremely Cruel
And Degrading Form Of Punishment. The
Condemned Person Not Only Suffers From
The Barbarity Of The Execution Itself, But
Also The Cruelty Of Waiting Upon Death
Row For The Day He Is To Be Methodically
Killed By The State….Justice That Is Not
Tempered With Mercy Is Nothing More Than
The Brute Unfeeling Exercise Of Force By
The State. - – MADPET (Malaysians Against Death Penalty And Torture)
18. In the name of humanity, justice
and human dignity, and in defence
of the principle that all life is sacred,
we call upon the Government of
Malaysia to abolish the death
penalty, and declare an immediate
moratorium on the carrying out of
all death sentences pending
abolition. – MADPET (Malaysians Against
Death Penalty and Torture)
