Clemency for Nguyen Tuong Van

I am completely opposed to the death penalty in all forms, and tomorrow Australian citizen Nguyen Tuong Van will be hanged in Singapore for importing heroin. I hate the whole "eye for an eye" idea behind capital punishment, however this is even beyond that. It is an individual's choice to put drugs in to their body, what Nguyen did was not right, but it is not deserving of the death penalty. He didn't kill anyone.

Here are some links for those who want to protest or read up.
