Please save their lives<\/p>\n
Indonesian judges should not follow the tracks of the
\nSingapore government, which hung Van Ngu Yen. The breath of life
\nof somebody belongs to the Creator, regardless of their mistake
\nor crimes.<\/p>\n
Van Ngu Yen reformed in the last three years of his life in
\nChangi prison in Singapore, yet the Singapore government executed
\nhim, using the excuse that we must abide by the law of the
\ncountry. The government of Singapore, as well as Indonesia, has
\nto abide by the law of God, who says: \"Thou shall not kill.\"<\/p>\n
Of course we should abide by the laws of a country, however
\nthe governments of the world should not produce drugs in the
\nfirst place, which tempts young people into becoming involved in
\ndrug trafficking.<\/p>\n
The governments of the world, including Singapore and
\nIndonesia, will be responsible to God for ending these lives,
\nwhich were created by God. Indonesian judges, who claim to
\nbelieve in God, should stop using Singapore as an excuse to take
\nthe lives of nine young alleged drug traffickers.<\/p>\n
Do not kill these young people. Once they are imprisoned they
\nwill suffer enough and will reform themselves. Indonesia should
\nstart performing \"restorative justice\", to save the lives of
\nothers. Then I, as an Indonesian, will not be ashamed to be
\nIndonesian.<\/p>\n
Please pass this on to the judges in Bali, who will
\nprosecute those nine young Australians. Will those judges take
\nthe lives of their own brothers or sisters?<\/p>\n
Please consider that our nation will suffer when we take the
\nlives of those young nine Australians. They key is to forgive
\nthem.<\/p>\n
Imprisonment for years would be a better penalty and more
\nhonorable than ending their lives. May God help the judges of
\nBali to uphold the law of God.<\/p>\n
