sevenhelz at 11:20pm on 05/05/2009Check this out: A British woman, 20 years of age, was arrested 9 months ago (August) as she was trying to leave Laos, and charged with smuggling heroin. She allegedly had 680grams of the shit in her luggage. Reprieve say she hasn't met with a lawyer yet, and she's apparently being "tried" next week - this has been rescheduled to be so close, possibly because the Powers That Be knew Reprieve were sending her a lawyer. And get this: she probably won't be executed, because she became pregnant in December.
Has anyone heard of this story? I bloody well haven't. Thankyou Melissa - and yes, this [emphasis mine]:
Since when does a Western woman with no history of drug involvement who has nonetheless been arrested and detained as an alleged drug mule, was quite likely raped and forcibly impregnated while being held, and faces a kangaroo court trial not warrant news coverage? I dare anyone to tell me it has nothing to do with the fact that Samantha Orobator is black.
