You're fucking kidding, right? That's not even remotely close. She's being executed for being
drug trafficker not for being a rape victim. She committed a crime to get where she is, she didn't get where she is unwillingly.

I'm at a loss on this one. This is more weak arguing. You're trying to equate what's been said above to supporting war criminals and the slaughter of innocents. These aren't even remotely close to what's going on here.
Yes, their prison system is atrocious and execution is overly harsh, but she is by no means an innocent victim.

This works on an intellectual level, but again, good luck getting this to work in the international community.
