Singapore hanged an Indian-origin man convicted of drug trafficking on Wednesday despite calls from the United Nations (UN) and other international organizations to reconsider the execution. According to Reuters, 46-year-old Tangaraju Suppiah attempted to smuggle one kilogram of cannabis in 2013, which is double the threshold for the death penalty in Singapore. He was convicted in 2017 and sentenced to death in 2018.
