Amnesty urges Malaysia to stop secret execution

KUALA LUMPUR: Amnesty International said on Thursday that Malaysia was preparing to put a condemned woman to death, and called on the government to halt “yet another secretive execution.”

The London-based human rights group said in a statement it had learned from relatives of the woman that she would be executed Friday for a murder committed more than a decade ago. It identified her only by the name “Chandran.”
