Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China

The use of emotive and highly charged language such as "****" in this particular case is not helpful and does a disservice to those suffering a mental illness.

This individual had displayed symptoms of mental imbalance for several years, despite this fact he was denied a mental evaluation, which was his right, and was summarily executed.

As I stated earlier I have no sympathy for drug dealers but in an instance such as this there are very real concerns as to the legitimacy of the trial process and outcome.

Had the Chinese met their obligation and afforded the accused a mental evaluation which had determined him to have been of sound mind then we would not be having this debate. The fact is they didn't and any rational person really ought to be wondering why.

That said, your concern for the wellbeing of the Chinese population is deeply touching.
