🕯️ Singapore's execution of Datchinamurthy Kataiah, after hours of cruel uncertainty, should enliven calls for a #DeathPenalty moratorium.

@amnesty.org & @adpan.bsky.social:

Singapore: Cruel and unlawful drug-related execution of Malaysian man renews urgency for moratorium on executions

The execution after hours of uncertainty for the victim and his family has reignited international outrage and demands for a moratorium.

🚨 1,200 immigrants held at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’… ARE NOW MISSING!

Family members can’t find them and their names disappeared from ICE's online database

And this is why I always referred to them as “disappeared” and not “detained”.
