You talk **** at times just because you shout a bit and puff your chest out doesn't make what you say any more true.
I really don't care. It's just such an insignificant offence and such an awful, disproportionate, barbaric punishment. I just don't get why people are so dismissive of her on a humanitarian level yet on another thread we're meant to be feel really sorry for poor, poor Eni Aluko who was verbally bullied and got £80k for it.
Yeah so when somebody flies over here from Peru with a suitcase full of cocaine and gets thrown in jail we should feel sorry for them?
She's clearly not trying to start a drug smuggling operation though is she. It's a ridiculously over the top punishment for what it is. All she's actually guilty of is ignorance. Smuggling cocaine isn't really a sensible comparison. But thinking about it, I was with someone from Sweden the other week who'd brought some weird tobacco product that isn't legal here but is in Sweden. Relatively harmless of course but not legal in the UK. That's a more like for like comparison. Thankfully in the UK our laws are a bit more 21st century. Call me a soft **** but I don't think someone should be thrown in a hellish prison and potentially face a death sentence for carrying painkillers. It's just a cruel and uncivilised way to treat human beings. There's a debate about whether the death penalty is ever right, but I don't see how anyone could argue that the death penalty is justified for such a nothing crime.
I'm struggling to see any point you're trying to make. If she's not trying to start a drug smuggling operation you have to question why she is illegally obtaining a prescription drug and smuggling it in to Egypt. Her family are going to cry complete ignorance to the press because it's not really a sob story if they say she knew she was doing something dodgy and got caught. Smuggling cocaine is a perfectly sensible comparison. Cocaine is perfectly legal to have in Peru, Tramadol isn't even legal to get here without a valid prescription. She is not going to face the death sentence, that is just pure sensationalism. Stop being so gullible. Yes somebody should be thrown in prison for trying to smuggle an illicit drug into a country. What else should you do with them? Give them a pat on the back and say good try maybe next time?
How do you know she didn't know what she was doing? How do you know this hasn't been a gig that's been going on everytime she makes her 4 trips a year to see the love of her life? She's a drug smuggler who illegally got them in this country ( that's one law broken in one country) and then smuggled/took them I to a country where they are illegal ( that's another drug law broken in another country) so 2 drug laws broken in 2 countries..... She's deserves to be punished and locked up but the death penalty? Definitely not
Cocaine hasn't actually been legalised anywhere, it's been decriminalised in several countries, so you won't get nicked for having a small amount in some countries (2grams in Peru, 1 gram in Portugal or the Czech Rep and half a gram in Mexico), but it's still illegal to sell, or posses a lot of.
