I’m amazed this man lectures in law. If one of our students submitted a paper this poorly reasoned, and with this many legal errors, they would fail.

Does the Indonesian president know that Indonesia’s drug problem is internal and not external? It is absurd to accuse foreigners, especially the Australians in this case and the Australian government should worry about it as drugs leaving Indonesian shores to Australia. Australia, with the help of the International Community track down and destroy the drug cartel, dealers and manufacturers in Indonesia as the Indonesian government failed to date and Indonesian drugs are a menace to the global society. By executing few foreign foreigners, Indonesia is trying to cover up its drag dealers and manufacturers from international scrutiny and prosecution. The corruption allegation against Indonesian officials must be investigated by an International body with full transparency as Indonesia executed foreign nationals. These executions are legalized murder by the Indonesian senseless, inhuman and ruthless regime that has no respect for human rights and there is no justification at all.

No argument of Sovereignty should be able to legitimize such a cruel, merciless, heartless, inhumane act!! Indonesia has a drug problem, how is widespread corruption alleviating this crisis? Judges/officials residing over the death penalty willing to take bribes. Reports of police and prison wardens being affiliated with gangs and drugs. No one should be put to death is such a travesty of a legal system.

The human side of this story has been told and what has been done, cannot be undone.
