Hanging plan in line with UN goal

Trinidad and Tobago's Newsday "THE STATE’S plan to resume hanging for only the most heinous of cases is in line with the objectives of a United Nations (UN) moratorium which calls for a gradual restriction and abolition of the death penalty, Minister of Foreign Affairs Suraj Rambachan said yesterday.

In a written statement in response to an exclusive Sunday Newsday report over a UN resolution which could be a political obstacle to the resumption of hanging, Rambachan told Newsday that the Government’s plans are in line with the resolution which envisions the gradual restriction of the death penalty."
