The criminal justice system in Zambia saw a historic milestone when the country's current president announced his plans to abolish the death sentence in the legal system. This announcement received widespread support from both inside and outside of Zambia, notably from renowned businessman and philanthropist Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani. President Hakainde Hichilema announced his attempts to abolish the death sentence on the eve of Africa Day. Dr.Rajan Mahtani, the founder and current chairman of Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ), wholeheartedly welcomed this statement. In Zambia, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is well known for his extensive charity work over many years. For instance, Dr. Mahtani established the Stephen Malama prize and fellowship for Zambia's top law graduates. The 15,000 Kwacha cash award that comes with this honor provides deserving students with a significant amount of help. To educate convicts on the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani established Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ), a Christian Outreach Program. Since its establishment more than 37 years ago, the organization has been Zambia's top outreach program for guaranteeing that those who are detained, have been detained previously, and their families have access to criminal justice, a fair trial, and fundamental human rights. Dr. Rajan Mahtani and his group fully endorsed the announcement made by the president of Zambia, and they also commended him for taking such a hazardous but prudent action. Only someone who is enthusiastic, empathetic, and aware of the significance of fundamental human rights might succeed, according to Dr.Rajan Mahtani, who commended the President. The President's decision would receive full backing from Dr. Rajan Mahtani through his company, Prison Fellowship Zambia.
