Nguyen Tuong Van

Time to resist the hangman :

"Unlike Schapelle Corby or even the Bali nine, Nguyen's case has not rallied the support of the Australian public. That may be because Nguyen is of Vietnamese background, or it may be that his own defence team has deliberately kept a low profile."

I think whoever wrote this is wrong. I think the support is there. I don't think people want to see him die when he is not a criminal as such but the government of another country has its own laws. I think his being Vietnamese is not relevant to us. The other cases are quite, quite different. We care, but we know that other countries follow their laws.Saying he was a fool for having drugs in a country known for the death penalty means nothing. He is 25. He has no record, but he is in that country and the die is cast. So, we care..but like him, we are not histrionic. You can kill as many ants as you like. If you are serious about getting rid of them , you have to find the nest and kill the queens.
