Singapore hangs first woman in 19 years following conviction for trafficking heroin
Fox News
Singapore executed a woman for the first time in 19 years after she was convicted of trafficking heroin, adding to its uptick in capital punishment since hangings resumed in 2022.
Despite calls from activists to end capital punishment for drug-related crimes, Singapore mandates the death penalty for anyone convicted of trafficking more than 500 grams of cannabis and 15 grams of heroin.
Two days before Djamani's execution, 56-year-old Mohammed Aziz Hussain was executed by hanging for trafficking approximately 50 grams of heroin, and another drug trafficker is set to be executed next week, the Associated Press reported.
