Singapore executes fifth drug trafficker since March
SINGAPORE: Singapore hanged a drug trafficker on Friday, the fifth execution in the city-state since March, after a court rejected a last-ditch appeal and despite pleas for clemency.The spate of hangings -- which included the widely criticised execution of a mentally disabled man in April -- has prompted growing calls for Singapore to abolish the death penalty.But the city-state, which has some of the world’s toughest anti-drugs laws, insists it remains an effective deterrent against trafficking.On Friday, Singaporean man Nazeri Lajim was executed in prison, the prisons service said in a statement to AFP.The 64-year-old was convicted in 2017 of possessing over 33 grams (1.1 ounces) of heroin
