FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Death penalty in Singapore: demonstrations organized as ‘sense of injustice’ grows • FRANCE 24” – below is their description.
In Singapore, the fate of two Malaysian men on death row has sparked local mobilisation and attracted international attention. On April 25th, Nagaenthran Dharmalingam was hanged. With an IQ of 69, which is recognized as a disability, his execution could amount to a breach of international law. The next day, 36-year-old Datchinamurthy Kataiah won a last minute reprieve from Singapore’s top court, thereby suspending his execution. We talk to journalist and anti-death penalty activist Kirsten Han.
