- Description
- About the Author
-
A critical look at Singapore’s harsh policies and the human cost of the war on drugs.
Activist Kirsten Han explores Singapore’s relentless war on drugs, shaped by fear, hardened policies and societal stigmas. Through deeply personal stories of death row prisoners, Han challenges Singapore’s punitive approach and advocates for a more compassionate, humane system that addresses the root causes of addiction.
Rational Conversations by Epigram Books is a series of essays and speeches by prominent Singaporeans on issues close to their heart. With these books, we hope to encourage discussion and provoke thought.
