In K-P, filming execution of child sex offenders opposed
Civil society decries bill to make public videos of hanging for deterrence
PESHAWAR:
The civil society has voiced its strong concern over a proposed amendment that would allow the relevant authorities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) to film the execution of convicted child sex offenders and later make the videos public to serve as deterrence against the perpetrators.
Criticising the proposed amendment to K-P Child Protection and Welfare (Amendment) Act 2010 scheduled to be tabled in the assembly by the government, the civil society said in a statement said the bill was against the constitutional provisions and the top court’s verdicts.
