Description
Death row inmate Nazeri Lajim beams at the camera, fingers raised in a "V" sign, wearing a shirt emblazoned with large motifs and showing no signs of his impending hanging.
Taken days before his execution at Singapore's Changi prison, the picture is among the last mementoes Lajim's family has of the 64-year-old, who was executed on charges of drug trafficking.
In the city-state, prison officials offer a photo shoot shortly before an inmate's hanging, providing simple props like chairs and other items.
Usually taken against a pale-green flowery backdrop, the photos offer a glimpse into the last days of the condemned. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
