Myanmar’s parliament is considering a draft anti-online scam law that would allow the death penalty for certain cybercrime-related offences. Multiple reports say the proposal targets people who use violence or other serious coercive methods to force victims into participating in online scams. The legislation, described as an anti-online scam bill, would apply in cases involving violence, torture, or unlawful detention used to compel individuals to work in scam operations. Reporting from outlets including The Punch, Free Malaysia Today, and Channel NewsAsia indicates the bill is part of Myanmar’s efforts to address online scams and the recruitment or control of victims through coercion. A Taipei Times report also frames the proposal as relating to online scam kidnappings and forced involvement, consistent with the broader description of coercion-related offences in the draft law. While the accounts agree on the core elements—death penalty authorization tied to coercive acts and victim compulsion—the details on exact procedures, scope of offences, and timing of parliamentary approval were not included in the provided summaries. The proposal is currently at the legislative stage.
