China execution 12 12 2011

Mirasol Delfinado (L), sister of Sally Villanueva, one of three Filipinos executed in China after being convicted of drug trafficking offences, with supporters holds candles and placards outside their family home in Manila on March 30, 2011. The executions came after repeated pleas by the Philippine government for their sentences to be commuted were turned down, and ended vigils in Manila where supporters of the trio had prayed for a miracle.
