I don’t know if many of you all know this, but capital punishment (by hanging) is still a thing in Singapore and is used as part of the “war on drugs”.
It disproportionately targets ethnic minorities in Singapore and those who are class disenfranchised. It’s inhumane and awful.

Scheduled to be hanged this morning in #Singapore, Pannir Selvam Pranthaman was granted a stay of execution last night. This is extremely welcome news, but the fight continues - to save Pannir's life and to #StopTheKilling by ending the death penalty. www.theonlinecitizen.com/2025/02/19/c...

The death penalty is something we got from our colonisers and it needs to end now.
