Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, in a recent interview with ‘Mast Newspaper’ extended his full support towards the recent decision made by the Zambian President. On the occasion of Africa Day, President Hakainde Hichilema announced that he is planning to abolish the death penalty row. As per Dr. Rajan Mahtani, it was a welcome move considering the law of death penalty is inhumane, cruel and degrading. As such, Dr. Rajan Mahtani praised the announcement made by the Zambian President and said that only a noble person will have the courage to make such decisions. Dr. Rajan Mahtani, while adding his voice to this announcement, stated that there is a significant difference between making the such a bold announcement and making it a reality. This is due to the significant bureaucracy, corruption and long processes within the government to change an archaic yet old and established law. As such, Prison Fellowship will provide legal and regulatory support to ensure that the announcement sees the light of day.
