Trained professionals to cut off limbs under hudud
KOTA BARU: Limb amputations for offenders under the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code (II) Enactment or hudud will not be carried out by medical doctors but by trained professionals appointed by the Sultan of Kelantan.
The sentence will not be carried out at hospitals but at a fully-equipped venue to be set up by the state government.
these were among the recommendations made by muftis, academicians and professionals......
....doctors should not be involved in the task as they were bound by their professional body’s code of ethics and regulations.
“It was recommended that the job be carried out by trained professionals appointed by the sultan. Their duty will be to carry out the amputations and nothing else.
“It was also suggested that the sentence be carried out at a place other than hospitals as hospitals are a place for healing, not to carry out sentences.”
