I sure hope that they got the right people. Organ trafficking is awful and those that are involved in it deserve to be punished. However, if the ones that were burned alive didn't do it then this is another atrocity wearing the skin of Justice. Revenge and justice are not the same and in a situation where the process of law may have lead to the breakup of a larger organ trafficking organization, I don't think that it can be said that the people who burned the two alive were in the right.
