Thanks for your kind thoughts. My thoughts are now with the condemned men  and their families.

 

 I will never give up the fight for the death penalty to be ended. If a person is facing life in prison and they request a humane death then I could support that.

I can respect your views.

But you cannot change the laws in other countries. Perhaps educating people about the brutal consequences that some countries have for crimes would be a more constructive?

Who else was? Any none drug smugglers? Who is Ben Quilty? And why should readers care what he has to say?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing that most people don't get in real life.

Ben Quilty is an amazing Australian artist. He was commissioned to paint our soldiers in  Iraq.

He has taught Sukamayran to paint over the last 3 or 4 years.

He is heartbroken and disillusioned at the treatment of these 2 young men. He has been a compassionate mentor to them both.

He said his final goodbyes last week and flew home to be at the public vigil.

Were you talking to yourself?  Because I was long gone and you were the only person posting.

It is not your business whether I post or not.

So am I, and anyone else who so desires.
