Prosecutor General Rejects Government’s Plan to Lower Age of Criminal Responsibility
Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem rejected the government's plan to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 12, saying education and rehabilitation are more effective than criminal punishment for young offenders. Attorney General Ahmed Usham announced the planned change and other Juvenile Justice Act amendments after a child was attacked in Rasdhoo, while Education Minister Ismail Shafiu reported 26 harassment cases so far this year.
