URGENT: Shanmugam Murugesu, who was caught with one
kilo of marijuana in 2003, is due to be hanged for it
this Friday 13th in Singapore. See: http://www.thinkcentre.org/article.cfm?ArticleID=2585
Singapore enforces some of the world’s toughest drug
laws. Anyone aged 18 or over convicted of carrying
more than 500 grammes (17.6 ounces) of cannabis faces
mandatory execution by hanging.
The 'Think Center' in Singapore is organizing a vigil
for Murugesu on Thursday evening.
Last week, Amnesty International launched an urgent
appeal on his behalf.
Fancy going to the Singapore Embassy in London on
Thursday? The hanging is on Friday morning.
Please write to the president of Singapore now
requesting him to commute the death sentence of
Shanmugam Murugesu to imprisonment.
Please forward this email to anyone you think might
take immediate action.
