Amnesty International, the Anti-Death Penalty Asia Network (ADPAN), Capital Punishment Justice Project and Harm Reduction International are alarmed by the unrelenting execution spree by the Singapore authorities, following their announcement of the 15th hanging of 2026 on 23 July. Our organizations are dismayed at the continued violations of safeguards and restrictions on the use of the death penalty set out under international human right law and standards, which render these executions unlawful; and urge the government of Singapore to immediately establish a moratorium on all executions as a first step towards abolition of this cruel punishment.
