There should be more sympathy for the thousands being murdered in the Middle east for not subscribing to the current favourite brand of voodoo or for what we might judge as minor infractions of Sharia Law.

If they were British that nice PM would have them flown home to serve a long sentence in a nice comfy British prison.

Well, it worked in Laos, when a 'British' woman under a death sentence got a spoonful of Harry Monk from a guard, or a male prisoner, shoved it up her snatch, got pregnant and was brought 'home' to the UK.

At the same time there was  a British man on the same charge, and also under a death penalty.

He can't get pregnant though, so he's probably dead now.

So much for the 'Equality of The Sexes'

Yes, and a lifetime in solitary isn't unusual either. USA must be one of the world's worst places if you're in trouble with the law, guilty or innocent.

I can only think that they got their just desserts. They were smuggling heroin ffs! They were quite prepared to ignore the damage that these drugs would cause to other peoples lives. They were in it for the huge profit related to dug smuggling.
Well, they should have known that the huge profit margin is because of the harsh penalties if getting caught...and they got caught!
Fair play to the Balinese for resisting external interference from many quarters seeking reduced sentences because 'he's seen the error of his ways' or 'turned to Christianity' or because they've taken up basket-weaving.

They were smuggling drugs out of Bali, back to Oz. I have been to Bali, when you get there and go through customs there are signs everywhere saying DEATH to drug smugglers. It is quite confronting. To see those signs, and know the reputation of Asian countries and still go through with it makes you a special kind of stupid.

My issue mainly is with the Australian Federal Police who knew what they were doing and rather than let them return and arrest them here, tipped off the Indonesians knowing these guys would receive a punishment far beyond what is acceptable here. Proper dogs act.

Death by firing squad is no more 'killed in cold blood' than any other state execution. The object of the exercise is a quick, clean execution. This is pretty much guaranteed with a firing squad.

Time has run out for the Bali Nine ringleaders who will face 12 marksmen, with only three of them holding loaded guns, at the stroke of midnight on Tuesday night - 3am Eastern Standard Time - in the depths of the jungle on Nusakambangan Island in Java.

The Australian men are expected to be led from their isolated cells in Batu prison through the wildly dense tropical forest up a 3km steep winding track to a place called Nirbaya - or more appropriately known as Death Valley.


The condemned pair will be given white clothing to wear, which symbolises the afterlife, before beginning their fatal trek and are given the option to be blindfolded with a piece of fabric before facing the firing squad who will be lined up anywhere from five to 10 metres in front of them.

The confronting decisions continue for the death row inmates with the opportunity to choose whether to stand, sit or kneel before a cross is placed over their hearts acting as a target for the 12 riflemen - of which nine will have blanks and only three will have live rounds.

If necessary their hands or feet will be tied to a 3m high pole or worse still - a wooden execution chair.


The offender is then given a final chance to calm down for a maximum of three minutes before the riflemen are ordered to shoot them in the heart.

It is then that the executing commander brandishes his sword as a sign for the 12 shooters to begin to fire their rifles.

If the doctor confirms once the fires have been shot that the prisoner is still breathing - the executing commander orders for a pistol be put to the temple just above the ear for a final shot.

However, the shooting can continue on the condemned, if the doctor declares that there is still signs of life.

Some of the last words the men will hear are 'laksanakan, laksanakan' - meaning 'execute, execute' in Indonesian.

B-B....the thing I just don't get with the lethal injection is as to why it has to be a concoction of drugs, that seem to be unreliable
and controversial, and cause unnecessary suffering (or is that what they want)?

There is a particular suicide pill that is self administered, as it is illegal for another to do it (at least that is the case in the three states
in the US that will allow for it).

I'm thinking back to last year when Brittany Maynard chose to end her life with dignity.

Also there are drugs which are muscle relaxants, that gradually slow down the heart, which leads to a painless passing.

There are anesthetics that could be administered, before whatever other action was taken.

I think the problem is AP that the US used to get the required drugs from the EU, now because of the EU's stance against the death penalty they stopped everyone supplying them.
