The Australian Coalition Against the Death Penalty...

The Australian Coalition Against the Death Penalty (ACADP) received hundreds of messages from Australians offering support for Nguyen Tuong Van, 23, a Melbourne man sentenced to death in Singapore after being found guilty of smuggling almost 400 grams of heroin.
ACADP president Dorina Lisson said she had been flooded with messages of support since news of the sentence broke. Ms Lisson said while ACADP did not condone drug smuggling, Nguyen deserved a second chance and called for him to serve his sentence in an Australian jail.
"We are human beings, we make foolish mistakes, we do stupid things," she said.
"What is killing this young man going to do? It is going to leave his mother without her child, it is going to leave his twin brother without a brother."
Ms Lisson said ACADP would write letters of protest to the Singaporean government calling for clemency, but would be careful not to upset authorities as the case remained before the courts with Nguyen expected to lodge an appeal.
Federal MPs added their calls for protest over the sentence, with Liberal backbencher Bruce Baird, chairman of federal parliament's Amnesty International group, calling for unity on the issue.
Labor backbencher Duncan Kerr praised the Australian government's approaches and believed every reasonable move had been made on Nguyen's behalf.
"Both sides of politics reject the death penalty and both sides of politics should unite, as should all Australians, to express this view to the Singaporean authorities," Mr Kerr said.
