I can't help wondering what people's posts would be like if someone was about to be executed for smuggling a few kilos of ecstasy, rather than heroin. Perhaps a bit more universally supportive??
From a public health perspective, a punitive/prohibitionist response to drug use is a dismal failure. Will executing this poor young man decrease heroin-related harms? No.
I did email the President of Singapore (details on amnesty website), asking for clemency - but I'm not getting my hopes up. Then again - I thought Schappelle would get the death penalty too, and I was wrong there...
