Saminathan Selvaraju

Saminathan Selvaraju was a Malaysian logistics driver who was executed in Singapore for drug trafficking after being found guilty of transporting 301.6 grams of diamorphine. He became an advocate against the death penalty, participating in civil actions challenging Singapore's stringent drug laws, which presume guilt based on possession of large quantities of drugs. Despite his claims of innocence and arguments regarding the unfairness of the laws, his appeals were ultimately unsuccessful, leading to his execution.
