Urgent need for National Assembly to enact anti-lynching law
An anti-lynching law would serve multiple crucial purposes. Firstly, it would provide a clear legal definition of lynching, helping law enforcement agencies to accurately identify and prosecute perpetrators. Secondly, an anti-lynching law would act as a strong deterrent against potential offenders.
