1/ Time is running out very quickly to #stoptheexecution of Tangaraju Suppiah.
Yesterday, Tangaraju rushed to file a review application based on a new legal argument pertaining to why he believes his conviction and sentence should be set aside.

2/ It was an argument that he had not advanced before. It was summarily dismissed this afternoon without being heard by the court. This means there are no more avenues to halt his execution from taking place tomorrow at dawn unless President Halimah Yacob stops it.
3/ Tangaraju's mother, Paapa, visited him this morning for the first time in almost 3 years. She doesn't know that her son faces the noose tomorrow morning. The family haven't told her because they don't think she will be able to bear it.
THREAD: Conscripts are ordinary Russians - many with families - who are ripped from their working lives.
They go from Novosibirsk or Omsk, to the frontlines of Donestk within a week.
No training. No tent. No uniform. No food or even water. No money. No morale.

Once on the front lines, they see truth of the situation: entire battalions have lost 70%, 80% or 90% of their men.
The carnage is insane.
Some conscripts die in a day.

And the carnage is only worsening as
1) more Ukrainian troops get trained
2) more western weaponry arrives under Lend-lease
and 3) more Russian weaponry is captured by Ukraine from routed & fast-retreating Russian battalions.

🧵 I’ve been sharing updates but wanted to put together a thread covering the substantive points of the Court of Appeal hearing today (well, yesterday now) involving 24 death row prisoners in #Singapore
#DeathPenalty #StopTheKilling
#DeathPenalty #StopTheKilling
On 1 August, 24 death row prisoners filed an originating claim against the state, in relation to their right to access to justice. They claimed that the practice of handing out punitive cost orders against lawyers have deterred lawyers from taking on late-stage capital cases.
Due to this fear, they say that they’ve faced difficulties finding lawyers to represent them. Therefore, this practice of imposing cost orders has affected their constitutional rights in relation to access to justice.
The judgement will be delivered at 7:30pm. #DeathPenalty #StopTheKilling
It’s 8:51pm and the judges haven’t returned yet. There was just an announcement that it will be about 20 minutes or so longer. 😣
Lots of anxious families right now, none more so than Abdul Rahim’s loved ones, who are waiting to find out if he will be granted a stay.
