Anti-corruption activists demanded that anyone found guilty of corruption be given a maximum penalty of death.
"In certain circumstances the death penalty should be handed down to those guilty of corruption," said Farid R. Faqih, coordinator of Government Watch.
He said other corrupters with lighter offences should be sent to jail for at least 20 years as their misdeeds had caused losses to the state.
Separately, an activist with Judicial Watch, Mr. Jazuni, called for a distinction to be made when setting the penalty between ordinary corrupters and public servants such as corrupt judges, prosecutors, police and legislators
He said the penalty for corrupt law enforcers should be much heavier. "If possible, they should be given the death penalty," he told a media conference held at his office.
