Singapur. Singapore: Stop resumption of hangings after two years of no executions
Singapur. Singapore: Stop resumption of hangings after two years of no executions
Responding to reports that the Singapore government plans to resume executions as early as Wednesday, 16 February, Rachel Chhoa-Howard, Amnesty International’s Singapore researcher, said:
“Following more than two years of no executions in 2020 and 2021, it is appalling that the Singapore government is planning to resume this cruel practice imminently. Executing individuals who have been sentenced for drug related offences and to the mandatory death penalty is in breach of restrictions under international law.
