Now if there had been an option along with 'Ignore', 'Thanks' and 'Quote'
of 'Rate it'. I definitely would have gone for this one.

how am I ignorant just because I believe that if someone is caught entering a country with a large quantity of drugs they should be punished?

do you not believe in punishment for a crime then?
or is it the fact that he wasn't sent home to be punished by our rules?
would you prefer if we did that to people from other countries that we catch here?

any idiot anywhere in the civilised world knows that drug trafficing is illegal..
 
well he's gone now and anyone with half their brain working will know not to get caught in China,

true.

That's brilliant!
 
From BBC News: (edited to avoid offence)

Marjorie Wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity Sane, said the Chinese authorities had showed not only a lack of compassion, but a "profound ig******e" about how a mental illness such as bipolar disorder could affect a person's sense of reality.
 
Saying he was off his rocker was a good one.
Lets face it you'd have to be to carry a suit full of drugs into China.
 
Now it seems to me that any UK national arrested in China and sentenced to capital punishment (or any other country) would immediately become the attention of the UK government who would assist the family in providing a suitable defence. In which case surely the UK consul would have interviewed this person. If not, is that a criticism of the UK government? Bearing in mind that Gordy said
I am particularly concerned that no mental health assessment was undertaken.

The statements in this persons defence did not surface until 28th December 2009 despite the fact that he was arrested in 2007.
One of those statements is purely e-mail. I'm not sure what the photos are supposed to be for.

Another question that crops up is: manic phases have a definite lifespan. But this guy seems to be permanently 'on a high' according to the witnesses.
So the first suggestion of Bipolar disorder came from one of those witnesses on 28th December 2009??? I don't think that ties in with the evidence.

Another question that arises, and I do not know the answer to this. It is a genuine request for guidance: is it possible that a 53 year old man could develop Bipolar disorder of that magnitude after he'd left for his travels?
