Nabil wants minimum term

PAKANBARU, Riau: State Minister for the Environment Nabil
Makarim is seeking to include a minimum punishment for
perpetrators of illegal logging in the planned government
regulation in lieu of law, which is to introduce a maximum death
sentence.

Nabil said he had proposed a minimum sentence for illegal
logging for inclusion in the regulation to the Minister of
Forestry Mohamad Prakosa. According to Nabil, the regulation will
be issued within two weeks.

He did not outline the appropriate minimum punishment for
illegal loggers, who have been blamed for the frequent droughts,
deadly landslides and flash floods that have plagued the country.
