A bill to ban the death penalty and life imprisonment for juvenile offenders was submitted by the Attorney-General's office to be put on the agenda for a cabinet meeting. If passed, the bill, which will replace the sentences with a maximum penalty of 50 years imprisonment, will bring Thailand's laws in line with international conventions that prohibit such penalties for juveniles.
