Australian man Antonio Bagnato, 28, has been sentenced to death for his role in the abduction and murder of a Hells Angels gang member in Pattaya in 2015. Amy Maguire argues that in keeping with the consistent stance of successive Australian governments in opposing capital punishment, the current government should appeal to the Thai government for clemency on Bagnato's behalf.
