On January 14, 2010, in a speech to parliament, Elbegdorj announced that he would pardon all persons sentenced to death, stating that most countries in the world had abolished the death penalty, and <a href="/wiki/Mongolia" title="Mongolia" class="mw-redirect">Mongolia</a> should follow suit. He also suggested that the death penalty be replaced with a 30 year prison sentence.</p> <p>The decision was controversial: when Elbegdorj finished his speech, representatives of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party refused to join in the applause, which is customary after a presidential address to parliament.</p> <p><a href="/wiki/Human_rights" title="Human rights" class="mw-redirect">Human rights</a> groups welcomed the move, with <a href="/wiki/Amnesty_International" title="Amnesty International" class="mw-redirect">Amnesty International</a> expressing hope that Mongolia will vote in favour of an upcoming <a href="/wiki/United_Nations" title="United Nations" class="mw-redirect">United Nations</a> resolution calling for an end to Capital punishment. It also urged other nations in the region to abolish the death penalty.</p> <p>Many members of Mongolia's opposition-led parliament favour harsh punishments for criminals, and Elbegdorj must gain approval from parliament before the death penalty can be abolished. If Elbegdorj fails to be re-elected, the new president could end the moratorium, and executions could resume.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Sources">Sources</span> <span
