Southeast Asia death penalty reform leaves Singapore isolated
Original: Southeast Asia: Positive steps towards ending death penalty in several Southeast Asia states amplify isolation of Singapore and other executing countries
Amnesty International reports that several Southeast Asian states are taking positive steps towards abolishing the death penalty, while Singapore and other countries in the region that continue to carry out executions are becoming increasingly isolated. The rights group frames the moves as part of a regional shift away from capital punishment and calls attention to the governments still enforcing it.
Why now: Amnesty International has just highlighted a regional divide over the death penalty, drawing attention to countries still executing.
