Taiwan judicial caning referendum raises human rights concerns
Original: Taiwan: Proposed judicial caning referendum indicates further erosion of human rights protection
A proposed referendum in Taiwan on introducing judicial caning is being criticised as a further erosion of human rights protections. Genocide Watch, an organisation that monitors mass atrocities and rights abuses, has flagged the proposal, warning that corporal punishment as a court-sanctioned penalty would mark a rollback in the island's rights standards. The measure has drawn attention to broader debates over crime, punishment and civil liberties in Taiwan.
Why now: A rights organisation has raised alarms over a proposed referendum that would introduce judicial caning in Taiwan.
