Nazeri

Three days before his scheduled execution, Nazeri Lajim, 64, filed an application seeking a court declaration that the prosecution's decision to charge him with ...

"The present application is patently unmeritorious. "There must come a point in time that the appellant accepts the consequences of his actions," he said. On Thursday, representing himself before the Court of Appeal, he asked to be given "one to two weeks" so that he can get a lawyer.

The Court of Appeal on Jul. 21 dismissed the last-minute appeal made by death row inmate, Nazeri bin Lajim, for a stay of execution.

He begged for their compassion and said: "Please exercise some sympathy on me, I know that I am an elderly person. He made appeals to the court in July 2018 and April 2021, both of which were dismissed by the Court of Appeal. He was convicted of trafficking not less than 33.39g of diamorphine in 2017 and sentenced to death on Sep. 21 in the same year. The amount of diamorphine was reduced from 35.41g to 33.39g as Nazeri claimed that he intended to keep some of the drugs for his own personal consumption, according to court documents. He told the judges to exercise their "honest compassion" in granting him his appeal, adding that a stay of execution by "one to two weeks" would provide him with a "sense of relief". The 64-year-old Singaporean had filed his application to the Court of Appeal and appeared in court via video link.

Nazeri was arrested in 2012 for trafficking at least 35.41 grams of heroin, more than twice the 15-gram threshold for the death sentence. “Please exercise sympathy,” Han quoted Nazeri, who communicated through an interpreter, saying to the judges. He had filed his own application for appeal, written soon after he was given one week’s notice that he would be hanged today.
