    the death penalty is stupid and no govt should be trusted with it. I hope they somehow reconsider.

      I don’t think the death penalty should ever have been used. It certainly doesn’t have any place in today’s society. Get rid of it already. Ghana is just about to abolish it. So should the rest of the world.

        Based on what evidence? Or is it simply because she is a woman, she couldn’t possibly do something illegal, so she must have been forced into doing it?

        Did you even read the article? No. Of course not. She was found with like 30 g on her. What cartel is going to traffic drugs 30 g at a time?!?

        Oof

          So ignoring the potential coercion you still think it’s okay to execute someone over 30g of drugs?

            Yes. In America it’s racist but in Singapore it’s dick around and find out. Allgood.

              There is no reason to execute anyone for any amount of drugs.

              There is no reason to execute anyone.

              Drugs are not immoral.

          Good point.

          Kinda sad tho that you don’t seem upset about a death sentence over 30g :/

            I think it’s more sad that someone is willing to gamble their life for only 30g. That’s just downright pathetic.

        I’m not the one risking my life for 30 g of drugs.

        Who’s really the one who doesn’t value their OWN life?

                  Strange deal, but sure - always good to work on yourself. Also not sure why you assume, I would think that smuggling heroine would be a good idea to beginn with.
