Analysis of the public attitudes of the death penalty in regards to the Bali Nine conviction. Discussing how Australians committing crime overseas is seen. Representing perspectives on how that can be compared to Peter Greste or international terrorism.

Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran may be put to death in a matter of days, and while some Australians have campaigned against the execution, others think they made their bed and should lie in it. The Wire’s Jo Lim asked Steven Blanks, president of the New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties, what he thinks.
