Singapore hangs first woman in 19 years after she was convicted of trafficking 31 grams of heroin - Lemmy.world

Singapore conducted its first execution of a woman in 19 years on Friday and its second hanging this week for drug trafficking despite calls for the city-state to cease capital punishment for drug-related crimes.

31 grams , are they serious ? Are there no other crimes in singapore now ?

31 grams of pure heroin. I think it’s worth mentioning.

While Singapore has doled severe punishments for possession of paltry amounts of cannabis in the past, the drug in this particular case is incomparable to weed.

Government sanctioned murder is still murder.

And in no way I’m denying it. I thought it was imperative to mention the type of drug alongside the dose since heroin has a lower minimum amount you can be caught with and still walk away. She wouldn’t have been executed with 31 grams of weed.

I merely added info from the article that was missing on the OP’s comment, I don’t necessarily agree with SG’s laws.
