Nguyen Tuong Van, an Australian of Vietnamese descent was caught in Singapore in 2002 for drug smuggling while was in transit on a flight from Phnom Penh, Cambodia to Australia. The reason being his twin brother owed loan sharks a large sum of money so he had to smuggle drug for them to pay his brother's debt off.
He has been sentenced to death by hanging and is due to be executed in 6 weeks. For those who have compassion and sympathy, please write to the respected Singaporean figures to ask for his clemency. Please follow the URL below to Amnesty International Australia. Thank you very much. http://www.amnesty.org.au/Act_now/action_c...an_tuong_nguyen |

Yep. Please do spread the message around to your family, friends and the community.
The guy doesn't deserve to die. The punishment just doesn't fit the crime. It's crap that a first world country like Singapore still execute people at all, let along hanging. |

I don't see what the big deal is. He committed a crime in Singapore where you obviously know what the penalty for such a crime is. He was aware of what he did and knew he could be severely punished for it, yet he still did it.
That's life. |
