Singapur. Singapore executes man on drugs charge, rejecting mental disability plea
Malaysian drug smuggler has been executed in Singapore, despite pleas for clemency because he was intellectually impaired.
Nagaenthran Dharmalingam was caught with about three tablespoons of heroin and had been on death row since 2010.
His case was highly controversial as he was assessed by a medical expert to have an IQ of 69 - a level that indicates an intellectual disability.
But the government said he "clearly understood the nature of his acts". (BBC, UK, 27.04.2022)
