00:00Panir Selvam Prantaman, the 38-year-old Malaysian convicted of drug trafficking in Singapore,

00:07will be executed on Thursday, February 20, according to his former lawyer M. Ravi.

00:13In a Facebook post, Ravi said Panir's sister told him that she had received a letter from

00:18the prison today confirming his execution in four days.

00:23Ravi claimed that during his time representing Panir in 2020, Singapore's prison authorities

00:28improperly forwarded confidential information on 13 inmates to the Singapore Attorney-General's

00:35chambers.

00:36He said the breach is egregious under international law, especially when it involves interference

00:41with privileged solicitor-client information.

00:44Ravi said Panir had assisted the authorities in this case, but the prosecution did not

00:49certify his cooperation, leading to the judge's imposition of the mandatory death penalty

00:54in 2017.

00:56Panir was convicted on June 27, 2017, by the Singapore High Court for trafficking 51.84

01:03grams of diamorphine at the Woodlands Checkpoint on September 3, 2014.

01:09Ravi said Panir's only recourse now is for the Malaysian government to urgently file

01:14an application at the International Court of Justice to challenge his execution under

01:18international human rights law.
