SUARA Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM) condemns the execution of Michael Anak Garing that took place in Singapore at dawn yesterday.

The death penalty will never provide justice. Michael’s execution will not deter future crimes or undo the crime he committed. The death penalty merely endorses and repeats the violence and senseless loss of life inflicted by the accused through his crime, and legitimises violence.
