A mother's agony


Time is running out for Van Nguyen and our Government has not done enough

Today (Thursday 17 November) we learn that Mrs Nguyen has been informed through the post that her son will be hanged on 2 December. Can you imagine a more insensitive way of conveying this brutal message? The Singaporean Government has displayed the hubris and disregard for human rights typical of authoritarian regimes throughout history. Australians who think this action is unnacceptable should consider ways and means of registering their protest. The Amnesty International website provides the email addresses of key actors on the Singaporean side.
