The Minister of Justice and Human Rights Baharuddin Lopa submitted to the House of Representatives a new clemency bill.
"Currently, there are still some judicial problems in granting clemency. Law No. 3/1950 does not limit how many times people can ask for clemency nor impose a specific time limit for its application," Lopa told the House plenary session.
The basic principle proposed in the new bill is that clemency can only be requested once. People facing the death sentence could ask for clemency twice, however, five years after the first request is rejected by the president.
