鑒於新加坡政府熱衷於捍衛死刑，倡議廢除死刑在這個城市國家是一件政治敏感的工作，在普遍敵視抵抗和異議的環境中，公民社會的行動面臨許多挑戰。這篇文章取自我從2010 年以來，作為在新加坡致力於廢除死刑運動的運動者的經歷，見證了死刑從一個微小的、邊緣的議題，發展成為在一個面對許多障礙和挑戰的同時，也引發更多關注的議題。

Given the Singapore government’s enthusiastic defense of capital punishment, abolitionist activism in the city-state is politically sensitive and faces many of the challenges that typically confront civil society in environments generally hostile to resistance and dissent. This paper draws on my experience as a Singaporean activist working toward the abolition of the death penalty since 2010. It recounts my involvement in the country’s antideath penalty movement, which has grown from a small, fringe issue to one that has gained increasing momentum and attention, despite facing many obstacles and challenges.
