[Mr Angry]

Rizzy, you have again decided to ignore the fact that his mental condition was never allowed to be determined / examined prior to his sentencing and that is the key here.

Nobody is saying that drug smugglers should be given an easy ride - in the event that they are found guilty beyond reasonable doubt they do deserve what they get - though I am an opponent of the death penalty. Everyone deserves a fair trial - it is a basic human right which was, by all accounts bar that of the Chinese judiciary, denied to this man.

Let's just wait and see if your, and others, stoic defence of the application of the laws of other countries (with a disregard for their own due processes I must add) is as forthcoming the next time a serviceman, servicewoman or hostage is beheaded or shot under the terms of another countries "laws" and broadcast on the internet to send out a "message" to those they define as law breakers visiting their countries.
