Unne: I don't think China or Cuba ever claim that they're pro-human rights. All we can do is put pressure on them to change their minds. I think that people are never going to be to make a big deal about executions of political prisoners unless they know about it. Those two countries aren't exactly renowned for their freedom of information.
I agree with LH on the rest.
I'd prefer they punish the criminals or whatever and stop showing pictures on the news every day. We know people did something bad, we don't need to keep beating a dead horse.
What will that achieve, exactly? What will happen if the same thing happens again? I'd say there's got to be a pretty big investigation of what happened, and, most importantly, *why* it happened, and then for implementation of new practices. The more embarrassed people feel, the better; it'll help prevent it re-occurring somewhere else.
