Your inability to take on board even the most fundamental elements of this particular case speaks volumes -Mr Shaikh was executed by lethal injection, he was not shot.
Yes, he was caught with drugs - I am not denying that - I'm merely saying that given his personal circumstances he was not afforded a fair trial in conjunction with international legal obligations which China, despite having it's own laws, has subscribed to.
It would appear that those who use the "It's their law", "live by the sword, die by the sword" arguments feel that a fair trial, especially when execution is an option, is too much to ask for in this day and age.
