KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore on Wednesday hanged another citizen for trafficking cannabis, the second in three weeks, as it clung firmly to the death penalty despite growing calls for the city-state to halt drug-related executions.
The 37-year-old man was executed after his last-ditch bid to reopen his case was dismissed by the court on Tuesday without a hearing, said activist Kokila Annamalai of the Transformative Justice Collective, which advocates for abolishing death penalty.
The man, who wasn’t named, had been imprisoned for seven years and convicted in 2019 for trafficking 1.5kg of cannabis.
