Amnesty International submits this document in advance of the adoption of the list of issues ahead of the upcoming review of Malaysia by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. It is based on the organization’s research report Fatally Flawed: Why Malaysia Must Abolish the Death Penalty published in 2019. This submission specifically focuses on women who face the death penalty, particularly for drug-related offences, violations of their right to a fair trial, and the opacity and secrecy of the pardon process.
