Well we probably cant stop the United States executing a British citizen, since they are more powerful and richer than us. But we can stop Laos from doing so. If I was in power I would be making very clear to them behind the scenes that I would have some gunboats on the way if this woman is killed by their state. The killing of a 20 girl by a foriegn state is an act of aggression of the most deplorable nature. We invaded Afghanistan to depose the Taleban because of their human rights record against their own citizens, surely we ought to be able to defend one of our own with force if necessary?
