AKARTA: Islam Defenders Front (FPI) patron Habib M. Riziq says that he would fully support the death penalty for corruption convicts.
“Corruption convicts must be sentenced to death or at the minimum have their hands cut off,” he said during the FPI’s assembly in Bandung on Tuesday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
He said that it was ridiculous that Indonesia was debating whether or not to award corruption convicts with sentence reductions for good behavior in prison.
“In Saudi Arabia corruption convicts’ hands are cut off; in China their heads are cut off; in Indonesia corruption convicts have their prison terms cut off. I don’t understand,” he said.
