[CILIS & ALC Publication] Policy/Briefing Paper: Death Penalty and the Road Ahead: A Case Study of Indonesia by Professor Todung Mulya Lubis
The Centre for Indonesian Law, Islam and Society and the Asian Law Centre are pleased to announce publication of a new joint Policy/Briefing Paper titled Death Penalty and the Road Ahead: A Case Study of Indonesia by Professor Todung Mulya Lubis.
Professor Lubis explores the death penalty in Indonesia, focusing particularly on the execution of Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan. He suggests that there is a new momentum towards abolition in Indonesia. Arguing that it should be used to the maximum possible extent to prevent more executions, he outlines a strategy for how this might be done.
