So again you didn't bother reading anything. He had a right to a full medical examination / evaluation under the terms of his right to appeal for clemency / commutation of his death sentence. The Chinese ignored requests for a medical examination - they didn't "debunk" anything.

Yes I agree - but only where there is no reasonable doubt as to their intent & guilt.

Yes, so it would appear - he was indeed duped.

Nobody, anywhere, has suggested he was "forced" to carry the case. The assertion of those who believe him to have been unjustly tried and executed is that he was mentally ill, vulnerable to exploitation and
unaware of the contents of the suitcase. His mental fragility is abundantly clear from the numerous written statements from individuals who knew him personally if you would bother to read them.

If only real life were as "black and white" as you'd like it. You make it sound as though mental illness is a commonly used excuse for drug trafficking when in actual fact it isnt. Naivety, stupidity and lack of common sense / regard for the law are not, in any shape or fashion, the same as mental illness being exploited for criminal ends.
