Summary:

Our research indicates that in Antigua and Barbuda, people may be sentenced to life imprisonment and corporal punishment for offences committed while under the age of 18.

This report was submitted ahead of the 12th Session of the Universal Periodic Review as part of our campaign against inhuman sentencing of children - defined to include sentences of death, life imprisonment and corporal punishment.
