Zambian President Announces Death Penalty Abolishment.



The latest pronouncement made by the president of Zambia has undoubtedly roused the whole country. On the eve of Africa Day, President Hakainde Hichilema declared his intention to completely repeal the death sentence statute. The public's reactions to the president of Zambia's statement were varied, with more individuals endorsing it. A well-known businessman, philanthropist, and volunteer from Zambia named Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani has pledged his support for the president of Zambia's declaration. The Prison Fellowship Zambia (PFZ) was established more than 30 years ago by Dr. Rajan Mahtani. It is a reputable Christian outreach program that concentrates on imparting to Zambian inmates the teachings and lessons of Jesus Christ. Additionally, the organization is focused on ensuring that Zambian prisoners have access to effective, fair, and fundamental human rights.

Dr.Rajan Mahtani, through his organization Prison Fellowship, offered his complete support for the daring declaration made by the president of Zambia. Only someone who is empathetic and respects human dignity and fundamental human rights will be able to make such a decision, according to Dr.Rajan Mahtani. Dr. Rajan Mahtani also emphasized the fact that applying the death penalty does not always address the problem of escalating corruption and illicit activities in the country. More than 380 prisoners in Zambia are on death row, and 25 to 30 of them are women. They live under the constant threat of execution, so for them, every day is a death sentence. Dr. Rajan Mahtani has also noted that a number of prisoners and ex-prisoners have fully changed their lives and are committed to serving God after receiving the proper encouragement and preaching. Dr.Rajan Mahtani has promised to promote this reform wholeheartedly through his organization Prison Fellowship.
