Nguyen Tuong Van: Online Petition
Quote from an interview with Dr Chee Soon Juan, the leader of the Singapore Democratic Party. He has been jailed three times for his outspoken opposition to the Government. He is also a fierce opponent of the death penalty.
TONY JONES: Can you tell us exactly what it is that awaits Van Nguyen on Friday week?
Dr CHEE SOON JUAN: He will have no contact whatsoever with anybody. Physical contact, that is.
His immediate family members might get to see him the night before or something in that ballpark. But he will be woken up if he gets to sleep at all and preparations will be made for him to be brought to the platform just before six o'clock.
And precisely at six o'clock the executioner will be there and in the executioner's own word, "will send him to a better place" and the noose will be placed around his neck and tightened just above his left ear. He will be hooded and precisely at six o'clock the lever will be pulled, the trap door will be opened and sadly Nguyen will fall to his death.
Stop Hanging has a petition asking for clemency (clemency being a life sentence instead of being hanged). I have signed.
