​The Latest: The Ministry of Public Security is proposing a major amendment to the law that would allow a death penalty to be converted into life imprisonment once the 20-year statute of limitations for enforcing the sentence expires. However, this proposal is facing direct pushback from the Office of the President, which commented that the suggestion is inappropriate.

​The Details: The Ministry of Public Security stated that current laws fail to clarify what happens when the 20-year enforcement period for a death sentence runs out, which has caused difficulties in some real-world cases.
