An Australian man has been sentenced to death in China for drug smuggling. The man was named in Australian media as Karm or Cam Gilespie. He is believed to have been arrested at an airport in 2013 with 7.5kg (16 Ibs) of methamphetamine, also known as ice, in his luggage. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was "deeply saddened to hear of the verdict". Australia opposes the death penalty, in all circumstances for all people. Australia support the universal abolition of the death penalty, and are committed to pursuing this goal through all the avenues available to Australia itself. Chinese media reports say the death sentence was announced by the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court on June 10//bbc
