Original: Southeast Asia: Positive steps towards ending death penalty in several Southeast Asia states amplify isolation of Singapore and other executing countries
Amnesty International says several Southeast Asian states have taken positive steps towards abolishing the death penalty, leaving Singapore and other countries in the region that still carry out executions increasingly isolated. The rights group is urging remaining executing states to follow the regional trend and halt executions as momentum against capital punishment grows across Southeast Asia.
Why now: Amnesty International has just highlighted a regional shift against the death penalty that puts executing states like Singapore under pressure.
