Amnesty International and four other organizations condemn the execution of Malaysian Lingkesvaran Rajendaren in Singapore on 11 February 2026. In violation of international human rights law and standards, he was sentenced to the mandatory death penalty for a drug related offence; and his execution proceeded after the Supreme Court rejected two appeals, as he sought judicial review of his claims of unfair proceedings at trial and ill-treatment while on death row, among other concerns. We call on the government of Singapore to urgently establish a moratorium on executions as a first step towards full abolition of this cruel punishment.
