that Singapore has had five other confirmed executions. All have reportedly involved drug trafficking.that the Malay man “was one of 17 prisoners who had filed a historic suit accusing the Singapore state of racial bias in their prosecutions in capital punishment cases.” That suit, however, was dismissed in 2021.noted on July 22 that five people were hanged in Singapore in less than four months.
“This relentless wave of hangings must stop immediately. The use of the death penalty in Singapore, including as mandatory punishment for drug-related offences, violates international human rights law and standards,” Sangorgio argued. “We call on governments, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the International Narcotics Control Board to increase pressure on Singapore so that international safeguards on the death penalty are respected and drug control policies are rooted in the promotion and protection of human rights. Singapore’s highly punitive approach does neither,” she added.
