On this #WorldDrugDay, ADPAN turns to the human toll of the #deathpenalty for drug offences in Malaysia. https://t.co/KvO39DvJB2

Much has been debated about those sentenced to death under Section 39(B) of the Dangerous Drugs Act [drug trafficking], but less is known about what their families go through.

40 families told ADPAN about it. https://t.co/ghJ70aGTZs

We learnt hard truths about their socioeconomic situations, experience with the criminal justice system, and their existing realities of family health. https://t.co/ZJZLkRU9y1

The families' stories say that existing vulnerabilities are only sustained, if not amplified, through their experience with the criminal justice system.

This #WorldDrugDay, ADPAN calls for more attention towards the human toll of the death penalty for drug offences. https://t.co/NxVZSE4ZW1
