If a foreign country has a law and punishment for that law and someone goes over and breaks it they should face the consequences.
They didn't just make up the punishments last week been around for a long time.
Completely agree. This whole recent commotion about the Bali 9 members and their upcoming penalty is doing my head in.
The death penalty is barbaric and IMO should only be handed down to those who commit the most heinous of crimes, which drug trafficking is not.
However, they are the laws of that country and anyone who lives there, or travels there, is governed by those laws.
There's a very simple way to avoid facing the death penalty over there. Don't be a ******* idiot and get involved in drug trafficking, or indeed break any law which has that as a punishment.
Chan and Sukumaran made a terrible error in judgement. Harsh as the penalty may be, they have to face the consequences for their actions and the prescribed penalty for that crime is the death penalty.
