A person who is a principal offender or a person who commits an offence of a grave nature will be sentenced to life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, according to the NSL, and a person who actively participates in the offence shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.
