a plan by Thailand's prison service to broadcast the lives of death-row inmates on its website right up until the moment before execution was axed. The country's justice ministry pulled the plug on the broadcasts planned by the Corrections Department after the idea sparked protests from human rights groups. The broadcasts would violate the constitutional rights of prisoners and degrade the 60 men and five women whose last days would be scrutinized by webcams, Thai Justice Ministry deputy permanent secretary Kitti Limchaikij said.
"Inmates would surely not be happy to be subject to minute-to-minute scrutiny and humiliation through the website. Although they have committed crimes, they are still human beings," he said. However, he said broadcasts of death-row inmates meeting with relatives would be allowed.
