Mr Shaikh is due to be executed in Urumqi at 10.30am Tuesday morning local time for heroin smuggling. "We're here to plead for clemency and we hope the Chinese government shows compassion. His life is in their hands now," said his cousin Soohail Shaikh on Monday night in Beijing. He and his brother Nasir arrived in the Chinese capital from Urumqi in the far west of China, where Mr Shaikh is being held.

Sounds like Shaikh’s life was in his hands when he foolishly decided to bring heroin into China.
似乎当Shaikh愚蠢得决定将海洛因带入中国时他的命就捏在他的手里

And what was he doing with the heroin? User? Seller, funneling money to the jihad?
他带海洛因干吗？使用？贩卖？输送金钱给圣战者？

U.K.: China executes British man
Relatives say man is mentally unstable and was lured into the crime
BREAKING NEWS
msnbc.com news services

URUMQI, China - Britain says China has executed a Briton convicted of drug-smuggling after rejecting a string of appeals from the British government and his relatives who say the man was mentally unstable and unwittingly lured into the crime.

The British Foreign Office issued a statement Tuesday condemning the execution of 53-year-old Akmal Shaikh. He was the first European citizen executed in China in half a century.

Shaikh first learned his death sentence would be carried out from his visiting cousins on Monday, who made a last-minute plea for his life. They say he was mentally unstable and was lured to China from a life on the street in Poland by men playing on his dreams to record a pop song for world peace.

Sure, that's a believable story.

That's the ticket! That is what we need to do in this country...for marijuana, especially. Now we all know that we Americans have a constitutional right of privacy re: the use of tobacco & alcohol; but when it comes to marijuana, acid, etc. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! < /sarc >
这就是罚单！这也是我们在这个国家需要做的，特别是对大麻。我们都知道我们米过人拥有宪法隐私权：有权使用烟酒，但对大麻、毒品等则必须砍掉他们的脑袋！

DALI, China — Justin Franchi Solondz, an environmental activist from New Jersey who spent years evading charges of ecoterrorism in the United States by hiding out in China, was sentenced to three years in prison by a local court on Friday on charges of manufacturing drugs in this backpacker haven. After serving his time, Mr. Solondz, 30, who is on the F.B.I.’s wanted list, will be deported to the United States, where he faces charges stemming from what the authorities say was his role in an arson rampage that destroyed buildings in three western states as a member of a...

His story is that he was handed a suitcase at the airport. It’s certainly plausible if he is mentally unstable and was lured with a promise for a record deal (dreadful as the song in on youtube.)
他的说法是他在机场被人给了个手提箱。当然有可信之处，假如他的脑子神经不稳定而且被一份录音（录制类似YouTube上那些糟糕的歌曲）协定许诺诱惑
