According to Lawyers for Liberty counsel N. Surendran, Singapore’s decision to execute Malaysian Datchinamurthy Kataiah on April 29 despite an ongoing legal case is in contempt of court and illegal. He requested the Singapore government to withdraw Datchinamurthy’s execution notice, which was issued on April 21, enabling the court proceedings to proceed without hindrance.
“It is a violation of international law and the Singapore Constitution to deny a person on death row access to the courts by killing him before the hearing,” he added. Surendran said the tragic news was sent to Datchinamurty’s family on Friday (April 22) via a letter from the Singapore Prison Service dated April 21.
