Svmuu News Myanmar is proposing the death penalty in a draft of the "Anti-Online Scam Bill" for criminals who use violent means to force victims to participate in cryptocurrency scam centers.
According to the draft, individuals who subject others to violence, torture, illegal detention, or other cruel treatment, and force them to engage in online fraud activities, will face the death penalty. The relevant bill is expected to be submitted to parliament for review this June.
In addition, operators of scam centers and perpetrators of crypto scams may also face life imprisonment. Reports state that the President of Myanmar commuted all death sentences nationwide to life imprisonment last month. (Protos)
