Singapore on Wednesday executed a man accused of coordinating a cannabis delivery, despite pleas for clemency from his family and protests from activists that he was convicted on weak evidence.

Tangaraju Suppiah, 46, was sentenced to death in 2018 for abetting the trafficking of 2.2 pounds of cannabis. Under Singaporean laws, trafficking more than 500 grams of cannabis may result in the death penalty.

Tangaraju was hanged Wednesday morning and his family was given the death certificate, according to a tweet from activist Kirsten Han of the Transformative Justice Collective, which advocates for abolishing the death penalty in Singapore.

I read he had a plea deal on the table for 12 years but was confident he could beat the charges even knowing failure meant the death penalty.

Barbaric, but we are not supposed to judge other cultures.

honestly, I'd prefer the strict law of singapore, compared to many places (california, chicago, NYC as examples) of the good ole USA, where you can commit burglary under $950, assault, manslaughter due to DUI, etc without any real penalties

we're turning into a joke of a country punishment wise as we hope social workers will somehow solve decades old gang related problems, and victims of theft are called racists

Law and order restored. I enjoyed roaming Singapore relaxed without the need to have my head on a swivel at all times.
