On 14 Nov 2013, Vui Kong’s sentence has been commuted to life imprisonment back dating from 14 June 2007 and 15 strokes of the cane.
Good news that Vui Kong is now off death row but we are troubled by the caning .
Thanks everyone who have working hard with us in the campaign!
原本因运毒被判死刑的杨伟光,今在新加坡高庭改判為终身监禁及鞭刑15下。
感谢各位与我们一起努力的同伴。
