Province 2 to jail rape convicts for life

Janakpurdham, February 26

The Province 2 government is preparing to bring a new law on sexual violence and related crimes, according to which rape convicts will be sentenced to life imprisonment.

“We are concerned about rape cases that are happening almost everyday,” Chief Attorney of the Province, Dipendra Jha, says, “We are discussing this issue regularly.”

Jha informs that a law with an objective of controlling rape cases will be introduced soon after concluding the ongoing discussions.

The official informs that the new law will comply with international laws as well as the constitution.

“We cannot introduce the capital punishment as it is against our international commitment and the constitution.”

Jha demands that the federal government provide needful support to implement the provincial laws.
