Why do we allow it go unreported that there have been almost 1,000 executions this year alone and the year is not even out? Why do we not discuss it? People like Geoffrey Robertson, one of the leading human rights lawyers in the world at the moment, support the examination of these grave injustices. We are prepared to go through the motions of the choreography of parliamentary nonsense - peace in our time, and so on - instead of talking about the realities, like Senator MacSharry did a moment ago, in respect of Ibrahim.
