A 46-year-old Indian-origin man, convicted of a conspiracy to smuggle one kilogram of cannabis, was hanged in Singapore's Changi Prison Complex on Wednesday, according to authorities.
The hanging took place amid widespread calls by international organisations, including the United Nations Human Rights Office, asking the Singaporean government to "urgently reconsider" the execution.
"Singaporean Tangaraju Suppiah, 46, had his capital sentence carried out today at Changi Prison Complex," a spokesperson for the Singapore Prisons Service told AFP.
