The managing director of Auckland's Radio Tarana, Robert Khan, said the station was flooded with calls from Fiji Indians who were happy at the death sentence but were worried that it would be commuted.
"They do agree with the sentence, but they've lost faith in the Fiji legal system," he said.
Representatives of Amnesty International and the Howard League for Penal Reform said they opposed the death penalty and had been prepared to take action if Speight's sentence had stood.
