The Ministry of Legal Affairs and Criminal Justice has launched a new public education campaign discouraging the harbouring of fugitives and gang members.
The campaign follows the passage of the Criminal Gangs (Prevention and Control) Act, which carries severe penalties for harbouring gang members and recruiting people into gangs.
The law creates a suite of specific gang-related offences, most of which carry mandatory minimum prison terms between ten and 25 years, and up to 35 years for attacks on law enforcement and for certain leadership or support roles.
