Been grassed either way, but who smuggles drugs where there is a possible execution? f***ing thick

Thanks for that list of the world's most admirable, democratic and progressive countries.

So guilty by association then.

Am not talking about this case seeing as it hasn't been to trial yet, but it does always grate with me when people commit serious offences abroad and then complain that the sentence they receive on conviction is unfair and inhumane.

We all know that countries like Thailand and Dubai dish out severe sentences for certain crimes, so why do it? If you're stupid enough to smuggle cocaine anywhere, let alone to a country which carries the death penalty or a minimum fifty year stretch, well frankly it's your own stupid fault. Don't come crying back to us looking for British justice or expecting to be deported to a nicer UK prison if you made the choice to break Thai/UAE/Saudi law. If you can't do the time...

Bit ironic Afghanistan being in there when they make so much of the stuff.

I think this has more to do with drug trafficking being in contravention of Sharia Law and many of the Countries mentioned being Muslim.

Great Britain had capital punishment as well, from 1707 to 1965.

Even after that, you could still be hanged for the following :

1.causing a fire or explosion in a naval dockyard, ship, magazine or warehouse (until 1971);
2.espionage (until 1981);
3.piracy with violence (until 1998);
4.treason (until 1998); and
5.certain purely military offences under the jurisdiction of the armed forces, such as mutiny (until 1998). Prior to its complete abolition in 1998, it was available for six offences:
1.serious misconduct in action;
2.assisting the enemy;
3.obstructing operations;
4.giving false air signals;
5.mutiny or incitement to mutiny; and
6.failure to suppress a mutiny with intent to assist the enemy.

Agreed, reading a book about the 2 young lads who got caught in venezuela, Cracking read so far

 

[AMEXican Wave]

Really have no sympathy for them ( unless they are ESN, or have some other mental condition ).

You really need to be thick beyond belief to risk drug smuggling to a country with the death penalty.

So if you got caught doing it, you would just say "OK fair enough hang me, I have no problem with that". I thought not. These people are desperate and like you, me and everyone else, will say anything to preserve their life. Please try to apply a bit of common sense.

Agree with that, but the OP seems also concerned with the fact they were "grassed", so what is the opinion here of the fact they may have been shopped to the law?

Don't do the crime in the first place (assuming they did)

I think that Edna has the "common sense" to not try and smuggle drugs anywhere. As for your comment "These people are desperate " f*** off...I've had situations in my past where I havn't had a bean and no money to put food on the table, did I resort to Drug smuggling....NO I DID'NT... nor should anyone else. If someone smuggles drugs into a Country with a death penalty if caught, then more fool them!

 

[Mr Smggles]

Who would be stupid enough to smuggle stuff to Afghanistan?!?
