Singapore’s use of the death penalty violates international law and standards. Drug-related offences do not meet the threshold of the “most serious crimes” involving intentional killing. Death sentences are also imposed as mandatory punishment and after proceedings that do not meet the highest standards for a fair trial, including through legal presumptions of guilt that contravene the presumption of innocence, or by using statements taken by the police without a lawyer present.
This is a postcard action to ask Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore, to end executions and abolish the death penalty once and for all.
