    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. It is good that the Vice-Chair has just walked in. I am using the corrected version of the report because I lost mine. The word “afflictive labour” does not amount to “forced labour”. A court is allowed to sentence someone with hard labour and not with forced labour. The reason why we are saying that this should be deleted, for clarity, is that when there is a lawful sentence, the law cannot take away what has already been provided in a court order. You then have problems in terms of implementing the law and the court order. If the prosecution or the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) wishes to argue that, that sort of order should not be issued, then they should argue it in a court of law. It is not for the law to prevent the execution of a lawful order."
