Amnesty says Singapore isolated over death penalty reforms
Original: Amnesty International says death penalty reforms leave Singapore isolated in Southeast Asia
Amnesty International says recent changes to Singapore's death penalty laws leave the country isolated within Southeast Asia. The rights group argues the reforms fall short and that Singapore now stands apart from regional moves away from capital punishment. The criticism puts renewed focus on the city-state's use of execution for drug offences at a time when many neighbours are curtailing or abolishing the death penalty.
Why now: Amnesty's public criticism of Singapore's capital punishment policies has drawn fresh human rights attention.
