SINGAPORE - Several activists, an advocacy group and a website have been asked to put up corrections under the law against fake news, over articles and social media posts that contain false statements about the execution of convicted drug trafficker Tangaraju Suppiah.
Tangaraju, 46, a Singaporean, was hanged on April 26, 2023, after being convicted in 2018 of abetting the trafficking of 1,017.9g of cannabis, an amount more than twice the capital threshold. One of the claims made was that Tangaraju had requested an interpreter when his statement was taken, but was refused one. He was also denied an interpreter and access to legal counsel during his trial, the posts and articles said.
“Tangaraju was accorded full due process under the law. He was represented by legal counsel and had access to an interpreter throughout his trial,” said MHA.
