Lawyers for South African Mariette Sonjaleen Bosch,...

Lawyers for South African Mariette Sonjaleen Bosch, 50, said the execution was carried out with indecent haste and with callous disregard for Bosch's life and her constitutional rights. "Botswana knew that a petition had been filed on March 7 to the African Commission of Human and People's Rights and it is understood the Commission had requested that the execution not be carried out until the petition had been considered," legal consultant Anne Schofield said, speaking from Gibraltar. Neither had Botswana waited until Bosch had made full representations to President Festus Mogae and the Committee for the Prerogative for Mercy.
