bali 9

Feb 15, 2006 09:53

I wonder if there will be the same outcry over the death penalties handed out to two of the Bali 9 then there was over Nguyen Tuong Van's execution last year? I feel that standover tactics that these two employed on the other couriers will work against them in Australia's press - they are the bad guys in the story. Whereas the media painted Nguyen Tuong Van as a trafficker who was trying to help his brother out of debt. I'm glad that the police there stopped 8000+ hits of heroin from being released onto the market but I don't feel that it warrants the death penalty. I don't know what the answer is. I hope that their deaths will cause some outcry - it's not right that a foreign government can legally kill our citizens.
