Singapore executed a 45-year-old citizen on Friday (July 28) for drug trafficking which was the first execution of a woman by the city-state in nearly 20 years, officials stated.
"The capital sentence of death imposed on Saridewi Binte Djamani was carried out on 28 July 2023," said the Central Narcotics Bureau, in a statement.
The woman was convicted of trafficking "not less than 30.72 grams" of heroin, which is more than twice the volume that paves the way for the death penalty in Singapore.
Why is it the first woman executed in 20 years instead of person?
Because they have executed a bunch of men in the previous years. This is just the first woman.
Then why is this important?
Because despite all the gender equality movements etc etc we still naturally value women more than men.
