The United Nations
In Singapore, the UN rights office, OHCHR, called on Monday for a stay of execution for two Malaysian nationals accused of drug offences.
The execution of Nagaenthran Dharmalingam and Datchinamurthy Kataiah is imminent, the UN rights office said in a statement, before pointing to an apparently "alarming acceleration in execution notices" in Singapore, since the start of the year.
OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said that Mr. Dharmalingam was arrested in 2009 and convicted of drug trafficking.
We urge #Singapore🇸🇬 to commute the sentences of Dharmalingam & Kataiah, due to be executed on Wednesday for drug offences.
