(Photo: Reuters)Singapore on Friday hanged a 45-year-old citizen for drug trafficking, the city-state's first execution of a woman in nearly 20 years, officials said. A rights group said Friday it had confirmed that another drug convict on death row has been scheduled for execution on Aug 3. It's horrible for the families and worrying for other death row inmates," Singaporean rights activist Kirsten Han told AFP. "The number of women on death row in Singapore is relatively uncommon and there is no clear reason why there are fewer women."
