People would do well to read up a little before going off on this "he deserved it", "he wasn't mentally ill", "I support this sentence 100%" ill informed sheepish populism that is being spouted on this thread.
Read the written statements from those who knew him, who incidentally had & have nothing, whatsoever, to gain from their actions - before you spout drivel about anyone having "debunked" anything.
The only thing that has been "debunked" is the notion that Britain carries any weight whatsoever in world affairs or diplomacy. |
Up till his trial no one mentioned his supposed illness and anyway he broke chinese law and was duly tried and executed for trying to take 4 kilos of heroin into their country.
He broke their law, was tried in their courts, was found guilty under their laws, he was executed under their laws.
Are we supposed to feel pity for a drug runner, I do not think so and so do many other people.
