💚 #HarmReduction victory! 💚
France's Conseil d'État, one of the country's apex courts, rules in favour of maintaining safer consumption site pilots.
A handful of orgs argued that the sites worked against 'recovery' —a claim without basis in evidence.

In 2021, at least 1,000 people were executed for drug-related offences. Despite evidence showing that it is unjust and ineffective, this inhumane practice persists. Our op-ed explores the issue & calls for abolishing the death penalty. #enddeathpenalty

Criminalization forces people who use drugs to move further underground to avoid contact w/ law enforcement & public health systems, putting them at higher risk of overdose & being the victim of violence. #ServicesNotIncarceration

Singapore hanged Tangaraju this morning (26 April) despite concerns over fair trial processes & alignment with international human rights standards.

Research shows that people who use drugs are at 35x greater risk of acquiring #HIV.
We must support and strengthen systems to help people who use drugs, instead of stigmatising and criminalising them.

Tangaraju's state-sanctioned death is a stark reminder of how punitive cannabis prohibition can be.
No one should be killed for drugs. The work of is crucial to highlight these atrocities and fight back

Devastating news. #Singapore is a pariah for its extreme position on drugs.
The death penalty for drug offences is in violation of international #humanrights standards and does not deter drug use or trafficking.
Execution is not a tool for healthy, safe societies.

Attempts to prevent the execution of Tangaraju Suppiah for cannabis offences (by family, activists, NGOs, various Govts, & the UN) have failed.
A few hours ago he was murdered by hanging, by the barbaric & shameless @govsingapore

THREAD: In Singapore, families get only 7 days' notice before a loved one on death row is executed by the state. This is a small glimpse at the horror and hope they are consumed by as the clock ticks down to senseless state murder of their beloved.
