The imminent execution of Kho Jabing in Singapore tomorrow represents a retrograde step and undermines progressive moves taken by the authorities in recent years to reform its laws regulating the application of the death penalty. Amnesty International calls on the Singaporean President to reconsider his decision to reject Kho Jabing’s clemency application, immediately halt plans to carry out his execution and re-impose an official moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty.
