The official explained that her ministry is conducting tours and public consultations with various sectors before submitting the initiative to the Cabinet, expected in late September or early October.

According to Othman, the tribunal will have broader powers than ordinary courts, with the ability to impose fines, compulsory courses, and restorative justice mechanisms, rather than resorting exclusively to prison sentences.

“The importance of this tribunal, if approved, lies in the speed of the process, which will serve as a deterrent,” she said at a press conference.

The ministry plans to open an online portal to gather public opinions and will continue meetings with bar associations, international organizations, and experts before submitting the proposal to Parliament.
