Death - International:

(1) India's cabinet has decided that the death penalty is appropriate for the manufacture of fake drugs. Next the proposal goes to the parliament.

(2) Britain: After serving 23 years two men's sentences are overturned because the snitch was not reliable. Heck, if we started applying that standard in the States there's no telling how many prisoners we'd have to free.

(3) Mexico has taken the U.S. to the World Court over the death penalty being applied to Mexicans in the U.S.

(4) A letter to the editor in Bangladesh urging the retention of the death penalty.

(5) China: The Supreme People's Court has overruled a two year stay by the Liaoning Higher People's Court in a corruption case: "After a retrial of the Liu Yong case, the sentence is immediate death."
