45-year-old drug trafficker executed in Singapore, marking the second execution this year.
Singapore executed a 45-year-old man for drug trafficking, marking its second execution this year. The man, who trafficked 36.93 grams of heroin, had appeals and a petition for clemency dismissed. Since resuming executions in March 2022, 18 people have been hanged in Singapore. Critics argue that capital punishment has no proven deterrent effect and should be discontinued, while officials maintain it contributes to the nation's safety.
