Nations in Southeast Asia and the Middle East continue to impose the death penalty on drug offenders, with two more people being sentenced to death and another one executed this week.
In Vietnam, two ethnic minority villagers were sentenced to death for smuggling heroin Monday. Fourteen others were sent to prison in a case involving 1.7 kilograms of heroin being smuggled in a three-month period last year.
"All of the 16 convicted were from the same village, and many of them were related to each other," said Pham Van Nam, the court's chief administrator. "They were all drug addicts."
In Saudi Arabia, authorities beheaded a Saudi citizen for smuggling hashish Thursday. Jari al-Dossari was arresting while receiving a large quantity of hashish and executed in Riyadh's al-Sulail province.
Under Saudi Arabia's strict interpretation of Islamic law, people convicted of murder, rape, armed robbery, and drug trafficking can be executed. And the Saudis are keeping busy -- 82 people have been executed so far this year, well ahead of the pace last year (38) and the year before (82).

OK then, let's start with all the drinkers. Then we'll move onto the smokers. Then lastly we'll kill the pharmacy pill poppers. If there's anyone left, we'll kill them too.
By the way, none of the drugs I use can kill me. What a pity! I'll be around for a good long while. It gives me a smug satisfaction knowing that I'll be able to rub it in prohibtionist's faces for decades to come.
P.S. Basterds is spelled "bastards"
Well...
That's good ol' Islam for ya. If people don't listen, spread the word by sword...
