MAY 7 — On the 26th of April 2023, Tangaraju Suppiah was hanged from his neck until he died. The sentence was carried out at Changi prison where all of Singapore’s post-independence executions have been carried out.
In a world where more and more countries have legalised the substance, and it is even available as a recreational drug in neighbouring nations, the sentence seems extraordinary. It’s hard to fathom on any level how cannabis could be the subject of a death penalty considering the argument for the death penalty in cases of narcotic trafficking is that drugs can kill and cause critical harm to society and so the death penalty is a valid deterrent.
Taking someone’s life for carrying just one kilogram of cannabis seems astonishing, especially when one can easily obtain and smoke cannabis near-effortlessly in countries such as the United States and Australia.
