Taiwan's parliament has approved the holding of three referendums, including one on the issue of caning sex criminals, according to a report by Taylorville Daily News.
The approval was announced 25 minutes ago, but details about the other two referendum questions were not immediately available in the cited report.
The move signals that Taiwanese voters will have the opportunity to weigh in on the use of corporal punishment for sexual offenses through a direct vote.
No further information on the timeline for the referendums or the legislative vote that approved them was provided in the source material.
