The battle to save the life of convicted drug trafficker Nguyen Tuong Van is escalating on the internet, with a growing number of websites and blogs pressuring the Singaporean Government to grant him clemency.
One email campaign has drawn nearly 5000 responses in support of Nguyen, who is due to be executed on December 2.
That campaign, organised by Australian political activism site GetUp!, began on November 3.
A petition at stophanging.com has attracted 559 signatories, while another at foreignprisoners.com has gathered 928.
The websites urge readers to email Singaporean Government figures, including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and plead for Nguyen's life to be spared.
