Executions for drug trafficking rise sharply in Singapore
Original: Executions for drug trafficking have risen sharply in Singapore in recent years. The country maintains a zero-tolerance
Executions for drug trafficking in Singapore have risen sharply in recent years, according to a new documentary report. The city-state maintains a zero-tolerance approach to drugs, enforcing some of the toughest drug laws in the world, including the mandatory death penalty for certain trafficking offences. Human rights groups have long criticised the policy, while Singapore's government defends it as an effective deterrent that protects public safety.
Why now: Fresh media coverage of Singapore's rising execution rate is renewing debate over its hardline drug policies.
