Taiwan’s recent execution of Huang Lin-kai after a 5-year moratorium is a troubling step backward. ADPAN condemns this and urges Taiwan to become a beacon of rights in the Asia Pacific by abolishing the death penalty. Choose progress, not execution. #AbolishTheDeathPenalty

On 16 January, Taiwan carried out its first execution in almost five years. The execution - only months after Taiwan’s Constitutional Court promised to safeguard defendants’ and prisoners’ rights in capital cases - appears to be a cynical abuse of political power.
