Singapore executed a 45-year-old citizen on Friday (July 28) for drug trafficking which was the first execution of a woman by the city-state in nearly 20 years, officials stated.
"The capital sentence of death imposed on Saridewi Binte Djamani was carried out on 28 July 2023," said the Central Narcotics Bureau, in a statement.
The woman was convicted of trafficking "not less than 30.72 grams" of heroin, which is more than twice the volume that paves the way for the death penalty in Singapore.
The state always hurts innocent people regardless, so ultimately better to just kill them than to subject them to the horrors of prison and act like that’s okay simply because they’re alive.
Personally, it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make and I unironically would feel safer from my own government knowing the worst that’ll happen is a mere hanging compared to the enslavement, torture and rape, for decades, flung onto innocents in the name of being humane.
Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make
Yeah, that’s how it is on every side of the issue. I’m just honest about it
and if it was you who was being executed for something you didn’t do?
I would be grateful it was only a noose and not decades of rape, torture, and enslavement. That’s literally why I believe it. Specifically because I don’t want to be falsely imprisoned, and if you actually empathized, you’d feel the same way.
