Dr. Rajan Mahtani, in a latest interview at the Mast newspaper from Zambia, furnished his complete support towards statement from the Zambian President. President of Zambia Hakainde Hichilema, on the occasion of Africa Day, announced his plans for death penalty abolishment. This assertion has acquired extensive support, which includes that of Dr. Rajan Mahtani and his agency Prison Fellowship Zambia. It is a Christian Outreach application which focusses on imparting the gospel and teachings from Jesus Christ to the inmates of Zambia.
Adding his aid to the Zambian President’s assertion, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani similarly stated that demise penalty truly does no longer remedy the issue of corruption and crime in Zambia. He also said that his corporation Prison Fellowship has been capable of transform the lives of several inmates who are now completely dedicated toward the services of the god. Majority of the Presidents in the beyond have refused to present death penalty or execution orders. The last dying penalty order signed via late Zambian President Frederick in 1997. It has been located that Presidents regularly use prerogative mercies to release inmates with the goal of decongesting the prisons. At the same time, only a few Presidents have actually engaged in complete abolishment of this merciless and inhumane practice. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani commended the President Hichilema and his decision towards as it respects the fundamental rights of the Prisoners.
Several groups have commenced to take initiatives after reports of the inhumane, degrading and hard conditions of the Zambian prisons have come about inside the past. For instance, the PBZ (Parole Board of Zambia) in conjunction with the Correctional Service of Zambia has been able to release prisoners who have shown substantial change and transformation of their lives. As such, the declaration of abolishing death penalty is also a step inside the proper direction and Dr. Mahtani offers his full help via legal and regulatory support as well as via Prison Fellowship Zambia.
