Singapore has executed a man said by his supporters to have an IQ of 69, a level that is considered a intellectual disability. The man, Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam, a Malaysian national, had been on death row since 2010, when he was arrested attempting to carry 1.5 ounces of heroin from Malaysia into Singapore.

Singapore’s chief justice has said that he was “afforded due process.
