Sometimes, being a spy -- or just being accused of spying -- can lead to a quick and immediate death:
The grieving family of a medical scientist executed by China for allegedly spying for Taiwan said Saturday they had been "comforted" by the US and EU condemnation of the act. Wo Weihan, 59, was put to death on Friday, prompting strong criticism from Brussels and Washington officials who had appealed to China to spare his life. Wo's daughter Ran Chen said the family was grateful that "people all over the world have thought about him."Does China have the inalienable right to determine guilt based on assumptions -- or should a greater and more careful humanity be forced into their system of surveilling the surveilled?
"The most important (thing) for us to see is the support we have received from the European Union and the US, because we got a lot of support which really gives us the feeling that my father was not alone in his death," she said.
