   FWIW, he was executed by lethal injection. And at least one of the women executed in the photos above was shot for committing multiple murders.

   Commentary: Who in the end killed the British nationality drug traffickers Briton Akmal Shaikh ? (Photos) Integrated Information
   The first decade of the twenty-first century, will soon enter the history of relations have been stable in a dispute between Britain and the sudden, and because the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the British Foreign Office and a number of media intervention, what lift to the national level, in the long six months time, the British Government to negotiate with China even 10 times and the last Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, I even gave up the respect, to the Chinese request. Of its momentum can not help reminiscent of eighties of the Falklands War. Contrary to all accidents, however, is that today's UN permanent members of the British make such a large campaign, and is actually a drug trafficker in order to: Briton Akmal Shaikh .

   British Prime Minister Gordon Brown
   September 12, 2007 early morning, the British Briton Akmal Shaikh from the Republic of Tajikistan Dushanbe, carrying four kilograms of heroin to board an international flight to arrive in Urumqi, Xinjiang International Airport, security officers on the spot by the Chinese Customs seized. Is well known that drug-related crimes is recognized worldwide as a serious crime, social harm is extremely serious in all countries including the United Kingdom suffer, are also cracking down. And this four kilograms of heroin, enough to kill 26800 people! Face the facts so clear that serious crimes, China's gross sentenced Briton Akmal Shaikh to death is nothing more normal than this analogy. That far away, is for the human pesticides are pesticides for the United Kingdom, saying that near, it is to defend itself against nationals from the drugs.

   British drug traffickers Briton Akmal Shaikh (data sheet)
   However, is such a matter from a legal or moral side in China simply can no longer simply a criminal case, but different kind caused controversy in the United Kingdom. First, the British Embassy in China made by counsel for a judicial psychiatric appraisal Briton Akmal Shaikh gross requirements. However, according to China's relevant laws, the British side to provide the material was insufficient to prove mental illness, as well as Briton Akmal Shaikh’s family members had been suffering from mental illness, naturally rejected the British demand.

   Last “resort” in England started to play the race card, deliberately rendering which is fifty years since the first one to be executed as of the Western European Union. Briton Akmal Shaikh 's family tragedy while playing cards, his brother in the Christmas Eve letter to Chinese Ambassador Fu Ying said: “We now ask for forgiveness and mercy, I hope you can understand his children lost their father's grief, I lost brother's pain, perhaps, the greatest impact may be my mother, because she had heart problems, we are worried that Briton Akmal Shaikh was executed let her hair do not live to bear. “. British Prime Minister was big beat Road card. Launched wave after wave of unprecedented soft in the strip offensive. China, however, unmoved, according to the implementation of the death penalty, not only safeguarded China's judicial sovereignty, but also expressed the Chinese nationals to make the fight against drug abuse and drug-free determination.

   Although Briton Akmal Shaikh was executed, but there are still many questions linger in mind? Why did Britain despite a decent, despite the suspicion of interfering in China's judicial sovereignty, “full” to rescue a drug trafficker does? Why is a permanent member of the United Nations imposing, even playing with toys? Who killed the Briton Akmal Shaikh ?

   In fact, if the understanding of the West, they would understand, the British Government do not want to rescue Briton Akmal Shaikh , all hunting Briton Akmal Shaikh become a victim of political needs of politicians. In fact, if the British Government really wants to save Briton Akmal Shaikh , very simple, one to bring it in exchange for the national interest, and second, to be behind the operation, must not be high-profile operation.

   Your citizen commits a crime abroad, wanted to get them back without any cost? This is impossible not to be understood by richly diplomatic experienced Britain. You can recall that the last century, the eighties, two French agents sank the Greenpeace vessel “Rainbow Warrior”, the results of the incident, was arrested and sentenced to imprisonment for the New Zealand government. Later, the French not hesitate to use a variety of diplomatic resources, and even normal trade practices have been used, carrot and stick will be people back to it disgraceful. Britain wanted to move more than taking action, it will be one to pick? Too much wishful thinking of the bar. If the thing of the past forgotten, and think about being the former British colony of criminals who had taken refuge in Canada Raitschan Xing bar.

   Secondly, the United Kingdom as a sophisticated, sleek old diplomatic powerhouse, is naturally well aware of the conditions of each country, to know and in different countries to adopt a different approach. Like China stressed the face of the country, you have such a high-profile rescue, is not tantamount to Briton Akmal Shaikh pushed to the gallows? Even if China may be determined to let him go, but the United Kingdom did it so publically that China has no other way but implementing the death penalty. What's more, the United Kingdom also know the history of grievances between China and Britain. 1840 East-West conflict in the first battle is to English (United Kingdom to the Chinese trafficking) of drugs, is now trying to use the drug offenders in the United Kingdom trouble, not a fuel ah? And after the Sino-British war, the West was of extraterritoriality in China, China's judicial sovereignty and gradually lost. We can draw lessons is that hype up the event, after more than 90% of Chinese Internet users to support China sentenced to death in the face of such public opinion, with which the Government will compromise?

   Finally, if what the British are not understanding that if they really want to save people, there are alternative approaches. For example, Briton Akmal Shaikh was a British agent, out of the fight against criminals to carry drugs, there is still room for maneuver. What's more, the British Foreign lack this kind of “pragmatic” precedent. Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom's military procurement corruption cases, as the case involving the Saudi royal family, the British Government under the pretext of national interest to suspend a judicial investigation. If Britain had also “understand” and then look at France's military procurement scandal. French Defense Ministry refused on the grounds of national security, open the file, all the suspects on the spot acquitted. This time, British and French Governments do not lack of wisdom Well.

   Clearly, the British Government do not want to rescue Briton Akmal Shaikh , besides trying to take this opportunity to gross consumption of Briton Akmal Shaikh 's death. Prime Minister Gordon Brown can show that he is the leader of People First, diligence, and that China executed more Briton Akmal Shaikh , the more you can contrasting Brown's glorious image, which is already low public support for Brown, naturally, is a white pick up cheap. On the other hand can also be played by the media, highlighting the race card, derogatory look at the rise of strong momentum in China. Briton Akmal Shaikh 's death and Brown, I can give the UK to bring so many political interests, how could the United Kingdom is also not happy to see it?

   Only poor Briton Akmal Shaikh , to death do not know how he is dead, until the moment of death is still gratitude for Britain's democratic government and the elected leaders of Brown.

   Of course, some people worry that killed Briton Akmal Shaikh , whether it will affect the Sino-British relations. Because the United Kingdom's performance was “angry”: Brown, in the strongest language condemning China, and China continue to ignore the British side's request for mercy was surprised and disappointed —- the anger is real, but still only in the artifice . It’s clear that Sino-British relations simply will not be affected, the United Kingdom because of how a drug dealer did not even seriously affect the Sino-British relations? Otherwise, using UK's wisdom and strength, in more than two years time, 10 Briton Akmal Shaikh already have been saved. I even think, the reason for such a long time before China executing death penalty is that China may want other conditions in exchange for the British to come and collect him.
