Singapur. Singapore: End wave of hangings and immediately impose moratorium on executions
Responding to the execution of Malaysian national Kalwant Singh in Singapore, together with that of another man, Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for Research Emerlynne Gil said:
“Singapore has once again executed people convicted of drug-related offenses in violation of international law, callously disregarding public outcry.”
“Going against a worldwide trend towards abolishing the death penalty, Singapore is just one of four countries known to have executed people for drug-related offenses in recent years. The death penalty is never the solution and we oppose it unconditionally. There is no evidence that it acts as a unique deterrent to crime.” (amnesty international, UK, 07.07.2022)
