Is this politically driven against Australia for turning back the boats; & for Australian protests against deforestation, & against the PALM OIL debates? the ABC aired a 4 corners episode about recent Capitol punishment events, "KERRY O'BRIEN: These men, these two men who are on death row committed their crime 10 years ago, long before this president decided to get this tough on drugs and say "no clemency." Their death sentence was effectively suspended under president Yudhoyono. Suddenly this new president changes the ground rules; these men face the firing squad. Just their bad luck? A political lottery with people's lives"? http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2015/02/09/4174751.htm
