Two Australian drug traffickers have been scheduled for execution this month. While no one doubts that they were properly convicted ten years ago, their behavior since – and questions about the integrity of the judicial process that condemned them to die but allowed others to live – has made a compelling case for the exercise of mercy, for them and for others.
按日程，两名澳大利亚毒贩已于本月被处决。没人怀疑他们在十年前的合理定罪，但此后他们的行为，以及剥夺他们的生命而让其他人继续活下去的司法程序的诚信程度的怀疑已经构成了宽大处理——不管是对他们还是对其他人——的充分理由。
