Bali Nine: Indonesia executes eight prisoners but reprieves Mary Jane Veloso

27. Here's why

The death penalty is always wrong. Indonesia killed people convicted of smuggling drugs after they gone thru a corrupt judicial system. The president announced prior to any appeals that he'd reject them all no matter what. Judges offered to cut their sentences if their families paid them lots of money. One of those murdered last night had a mental disability yet Indonesia ignored that in its bloodlust. The one who got a reprieve looks like she is innocent but they would have gone ahead and murdered her anyway if that news hadn't come out when it did.

Australia's done what other countries with nationals killed by Indonesia have done and withdrawn their ambassador. I hope sanctions are introduced and Indonesia learns a lesson even though it's too late for the ones killed already.
