Singapore court fines LFL for judicial review against death penalty

The Singapore Court of Appeal has ordered Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) to pay legal costs of S$1,000 (RM3,200) for “abusing” the court process in the course of its attempts to halt the execution of two drug traffickers, including Malaysian Pausi Jefridin.

The court ruled that the Malaysian legal rights group had abused the system in filing a criminal motion seeking a review of an earlier decision to uphold the death sentences meted out to Pausi and Singaporean Roslan Bakar, according to the Straits Times.
