Singapore Executes More Drug Offenders, Including First Woman Hanged in 19 Years
TimeJUL 2023
Singapore's strict anti-drug laws are what serve as a strong deterrent against crime. Drug laws and procedures in Singapore apply equally to all, regardless of race, nationality, education level, or financial status. Capital punishment has been effective in keeping Singapore safe and secure. The global community must put this in context.
Singapore is far behind the global human rights standards towards capital punishment. Human rights groups and the United Nations have urged Singapore to put a moratorium on all executions and instead pursue more effective measures to address drug trafficking.
