Article 11 of the Constitution of Singapore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Article 11 of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore forbids ex post facto laws, cruel and unusual punishment, and double jeopardy.
Article 11 of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore[1] states:
11.—(1) No person shall be punished for an act or omission which was not punishable by law when it was done or made, and no person shall suffer greater punishment for an offence than was prescribed by law at the time it was committed. (2) A person who has been convicted or acquitted of an offence shall not be tried again for the same offence except where the conviction or acquittal has been quashed and a retrial ordered by a court superior to that by which he was convicted or acquitted.
