Nguyen's dawn walk to the gallows

Nguyen's dawn walk to the gallows :

"Friday: Nguyen to be hanged at 6am (9am Sydney time), accompanied by priest Gregoire Van Giang. Bells at St Ignatius Richmond will toll 25 times to mark each year of his life. By 1pm, family members have to remove his remains."

Getting the message across about drug dealing is one thing...not allowing his family to be with him in his last moments and then expecting them to remove a body which has been hanged...not just a body... a son, a brother...what on earth have those poor people done to be treated so cruelly? I cannot believe this. It is heart rending. His family have done nothing wrong. May we all have the courage to stand next to them on Friday because this far,far exceeds anything he has done .
