Seven organizations, including Amnesty International, are greatly alarmed at the deteriorating human rights situation in Singapore. In October the authorities carried out two more executions for drug related offences, in violation of international law and standards; and posed further restrictions to the exercise of the right to freedom of expression by anti-death penalty activists. We renew our call on the Singapore authorities to immediately establish a moratorium on all executions and cease the harassment of civil society representatives, as critical first stepe; and urge the international community to step up pressure to ensure that the human rights are protected.
