Alienated, with no end in sight

During his nine years on death row, David Wang spent 23 hours a day alone in his cell.

FOR nine years, David Wang was on death row.

He had been sentenced to death by the Kuala Terengganu High Court for drug trafficking in 1989. His lawyer Karpal Singh appealed on his behalf up to the Federal Court in 1991, and again in 1996 after more evidence came up.
