Singapore has executed 38-year-old Malaysian Pannir Selvam Pranthaman for smuggling drugs into the island republic in 2014.
Singapore-based non-governmental organisation Transformative Justice Collective member Rocky Howe confirmed the execution on Wednesday.
“Pannir Selvam has been executed this morning,” he said.
He was convicted by the High Court on May 2, 2017, for importing not less than 51.84 grams of diamorphine into Singapore in 2014 and was sentenced to the mandatory death penalty.
The Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal on February 9, 2018, and his clemency petition to the president of Singapore was rejected.
