As an opposition legislator, I attracted considerable opprobrium for voicing my opinion, on the morning of Memon’s hanging, that it should not be. I expressed my sadness that our government has killed a human being, whatever his crimes may have been.
身为一名反对党议员，我因在梅蒙行刑当天凌晨公开表达反对意见而备受指责。我为政府杀人而深感难过，无论这个人犯有什么样的罪行。我还说过以国家为主体的杀戮让所有人蒙羞，因为它让我们都沦为杀人犯，和被我们惩罚的人没有区别。
