Fox News
Singapore has hung its second citizen in the last three weeks for trafficking cannabis. The 37-year-old man smuggled 3.3 pounds of drugs in 2019.
The man, who was not named as his family has asked for privacy, had been imprisoned for seven years and convicted in 2019 for trafficking around 3.3 pounds of cannabis, she said. His bid to reopen his case was based on DNA evidence and fingerprints that tied him to a much smaller amount, which he admitted to possessing, but the court rejected it, she added. Under Singapore laws, trafficking more than 500 grams 1.1 pounds of cannabis may result in the death penalty.
"If we don’t come together to stop it, we fear that this killing spree will continue in the weeks and months to come," she said. Some 600 prisoners are on death row in the city-state, mostly for drug-related offenses, she added.
