Taiwan judicial caning referendum raises human rights concerns
Original: Taiwan: Proposed judicial caning referendum indicates further erosion of human rights protection
A proposed referendum on judicial caning in Taiwan is drawing criticism from rights monitors, who say the measure signals a further erosion of human rights protections on the island. Genocide Watch warned that introducing corporal punishment into the judicial system would mark a regression for a democracy often held up as a regional rights model.
Why now: Human rights groups are warning that the referendum proposal would normalise corporal punishment and weaken Taiwan's rights record.
