Singapore executed a 45-year-old citizen on Friday (July 28) for drug trafficking which was the first execution of a woman by the city-state in nearly 20 years, officials stated.
"The capital sentence of death imposed on Saridewi Binte Djamani was carried out on 28 July 2023," said the Central Narcotics Bureau, in a statement.
The woman was convicted of trafficking "not less than 30.72 grams" of heroin, which is more than twice the volume that paves the way for the death penalty in Singapore.
If it’s allowed there will be mistakes, innocent people will be killed.
And it will be abused.
Mistakes happen, get over it
Admitting that mistakes can happen is a strong argument against the death penalty. You can’t “get over” or “fix” death.
