Singapur. Singapore executes woman for the first time in 20 years
Singapore on Friday executed a woman for the first time in almost 20 years, officials confirmed.
Singaporean national Saridewi Djamani, 45, was found guilty of trafficking 30g (1.06oz) of heroin in 2018.
She is the second drug convict to be executed this week, after fellow Singaporean Mohd Aziz bin Hussain, and the 15th since March 2022.
Singapore has some of the world's toughest anti-drug laws, which it says are necessary to protect society. (BBC, UK, 28.28.07.2023)
