Drug trade heavy in Singapore, two people will be hanged

Singapore is a nice place to visit, but the laws of this country are quite strict. Criminals are severely punished in Singapore and if the crime is something that Singapore is very strict about committing, the punishment becomes even more severe. Something similar happened with two people living in Singapore. Two people, a 56-year-old man, and a 45-year-old woman, have been sentenced to death in Singapore.

The reason behind giving such severe punishment to these two accused living in Singapore is their crime. Giving information, the Transformative Justice Collective (TJC), a local rights organization in Singapore, said that the man was caught smuggling 50 grams of heroin, while the woman was caught smuggling 30 grams of heroin. For this reason, both were sentenced to death.

For your information, let us tell you that there is a strict law against drugs and their smuggling in Singapore. Different dosages are prescribed for different drugs. For heroin, this amount is 15 grams. If someone is found smuggling more than 15 grams of heroin, he is given the death penalty.

According to the information, the man will be hanged on July 26 and the woman on July 28.

Singapore's execution on July 28 of a woman caught on charges of smuggling heroin will mark the first time in nearly 20 years that a woman will be hanged. Earlier in 2004, a woman was hanged in Singapore for drug trafficking.
