This is a joint statement by seven organizations gravely concerned by developments in Singapore since early August 2024. The authorities carried out two executions in violation of international safeguards on the death penalty; and limited the right to freedom of expression of the Transformative Justice Collective, who expressed concern about human rights violations in the lead-up to the executions. With fears mounting that more people on death row are now at imminent risk, we call on the Government of Singapore to immediately establish a moratorium on all executions and cease the harassment of anti-death penalty activists, as critical first steps.
