The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is aware of falsehoods circulated by the Anti-Death Penalty Asia Network (ADPAN) on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn on 3 October 2024, about the legal processes for Prisoners Awaiting Capital Punishment (“PACPs”) in relation to Mohammad Azwan bin Bohari (“Azwan”), and the treatment of anti-death penalty activists.
The Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn posts make the following false statements:
a) The State carries out executions without regard for due legal process.
b) The Government targets, silences and harasses Transformative Justice Collective (TJC) and other individuals for speaking up against the death penalty.
