No we are too soft with the likes of drug dealers\sellers, murderers, terrorists and other vermin that get away with it in the UK.

I'd prefer firing squad to some other methods, its tragic, but she can't expect much sympathy, Grandmother or not!

Strange thing is the prosecution were asking for a fifteen year jail sentence

STEED · 01-22-13, 05:42 PM

Probably the appeal will drag on for years..I got no time for drug mules/dealers/users.

Smuggling into Indonesia.
Is that a candidate for a Darwin award?

They're been a number of younger girls caught smuggling drugs in places like China, but many reports state they're forced to do so. Most are put to death by firing squad regardless.

I agree, tobacco companies, bottleshops and pubs have been getting away with it for years.

A friend of mine, myself and several other people invested in buying a few percent of a granite company once in Brazil years ago. He put a chunk in it and often went to Brazil. He got arrested for something he didn't know about, they accused the company for being a front for running drugs and cleaning money. He paid a lawyer 30K to get out, simply a split between lawyer and probably the judge. I long sold what little I had in it, he stuck with it for several years, now is rich off it.

Thats the law of their country, if you gonna bring drugs in and get caught as a drug mule you gonna go down...6 feet down. Even a pound of cannabis will get you 25yrs to a death sentence

Jimbuna · 01-23-13, 03:13 AM

I have an open mind on the matter but the weakness here as I see it is the fact that during the passing of the sentence the judge stated he was going to show no mercy because she had shown no remorse so nothing of mitigation was taken into account.

I have a fundamental issue with those remarks...this trial has obviously been aired many times on UK tv and this woman has often been filmed in a distressed state and unable to look at her captors in the eye. Her lawyer also pleaded on her behalf that her children or child had been threatened unless she was compliant in carrying out her act.

Something doesn't quite add up here and whilst I have no sympathy for those who supply and sell drugs, I honestly think at the very least she will receive a prison sentence via presidential intervention.

I heard the old song"They call the wind Mariah" the other day, and using a line from that song along with the music, I came up with this, when thinking about the sentence she received-

Sharia, sharia, they call that law sharia!!!

Very good, apart from the fact that it is based on Pancasila not Sharia.
Maybe you could join with Jamaah Islamiyah and sing a song for making Sharia the law of Indonesia.
