Singapore’s top court on Tuesday extended a reprieve that had been granted to a convicted drug trafficker facing the death penalty, following a last-ditch legal manoeuvre in a case that has sparked sharp scrutiny of the city state’s retention of the capital punishment.
Syed Suhail Syed Zin, 44, was initially scheduled to be hanged last Friday following a 2015 conviction for trafficking 38.84 grams of heroin in 2011 – which activists believe would have made him the first person in Singapore to be executed amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
