A Singaporean man on death row for drug trafficking has been hanged in the first execution in the city-state in over two years.
FILE - Merlion statue with the background of business district in Singapore, Saturday, Sept, 21, 2019. Singaporean man, Abdul Kahar Othman, 68, on death row for drug trafficking was hanged Wednesday, March 30, 2022, in the first execution in the city-state in over two years, rights activists said.
Abdul Kahar Othman, 68, was hanged early Wednesday, anti-death penalty activist Kirsten Han said. The execution occurred despite pleas from rights activists, including the U.N. Human Rights office, to commute Kahar's sentence to life imprisonment. Han and several others held a small vigil outside the prison late Tuesday for Kahar.
Han, along with the U.N. and other rights groups, have expressed concerns that executions might be accelerated in the city-state after a two-year halt.
