While Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) maintains a firm stance on the effectiveness of the death penalty in managing drug trafficking in Singapore, the article presents evidence suggesting that the methodologies and interpretations of these studies might not be as substantial as portrayed.

The “Death Row Dinners” Restaurant In London

The people behind a death row-themed pop-up restaurant that planned to open in east London are “considering their next steps” after a huge online backlash.

Death Row Dinners’ website had a series of black-and-white images of death row inmates with menus around their necks. Alongside the photos, it said, “Eat like it’s your last meal on earth,” and asked, “What would your last meal be?”

The £50-per-head restaurant experience hoped to let Londoners enjoy the idea of their very own last meal, “without the nasty execution bit”.

Under the “why?” section of the site, there is a description of the history of last meals, with a light-hearted reference to the fact that the ritual still exists in the countries that practice the death penalty.
