Singapore: No more. Not in my name

A recent article has been published regarding the execution of Datchinamurthy Kataiah.

The article reports that

Datchinamurthy and his family were made to wait the morning of his scheduled execution, only to call in the afternoon to say that the clemency appeal had been rejected and the execution would go ahead. The family was not allowed a final visit or phone call. The prison didn’t tell the family the time the execution would take place, just that they should identify Datch’s body at Changi Prison at 3pm. The authorities probably didn’t even think of their actions as cruel; they probably thought of it as just a job that needed to get done.
