Singapore's Controversial Drug Policy: Second Execution in Three Weeks Despite Calls to Halt.

Singapore's use of the death penalty for drug-related offenses has been criticized by human rights experts, who point out that a disproportionate number of minority persons are being sentenced to the mandatory death penalty.

The prisoners profiled in this article are part of a group civil litigation suit against the Singapore Prison Service over private letters being released to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
