Phnom Penh Municipal Court last week sentenced a woman to 22 years in prison after she was found guilty of attempting to ship nearly one kilogram of heroin from a post office in Daun Penh district in July 2017. Presiding Judge Koy Sao identified the woman as Tran Ve Thi, who fled the Kingdom shortly before the drugs were discovered by post office officials.

 

He said Ms Tran returned to Cambodia and was arrested on January 6, 2018, as she attempted to transport heroin to Australia via Phnom Penh International Airport. Khun Sokna, another judge, noted that last year in May, she was found guilty of “drug possession and trafficking”, and the court sentenced her to 30 years in prison for the drugs found at the airport.

 

On Friday, the court found her guilty of “drug possession and transporting” for the drugs found at the post office. “The court has decided to convict the accused Tran Ve Thi and sentence her to 22 years in prison,” Judge Sao said. “The court orders her to pay [about $10,000] to be put in the state’s coffers.”

Is that a popular Australian name these days ?

Yes. At least you can get something good to eat there now.

We should export all the drug dealers in Australia to Cambodia, at least there we know the sentences fit.

Not uncommon. There is a large Vietnam population in Australia. They went there as boat people during and after the Vietnam war. By all accounts they created a strong and well integrated community. In the short time I lived in Richmond, Victoria the Vietnamese community seemed to be thriving and well integrated. Some very interesting stories of survival were told to me from children of boat people.

 

It sounds like the drug smuggling woman made a very poor decision. Life must suck if someone thinks being a drug mule is a good decision to make.

I still dont understand what authority post office workers have to  open packages, unless its to steal stuff and sometimes they find drugs. altho last time I sent something they told me it needed repacking so I said ok and they just looked inside and closed it again, so who knows. I also dont understand why they fined her $10000 when shes doing a jail term. what would be the incentive for her to pay? anyway, the sooner drugs are legalized the better

Damn right! Migrants took Australian food from the English heart attack diet to a plethora of awesome foods. We have arguably the best food in the world and make arguably some of the best coffee on the planet too ???? Only problem is the prices we have to pay for all this yummy fair ????

Short for Tammy the tranny????????

yes I am aware it’s stupid but still funny

Most of the civilised world is now coming to the conclusion that criminalisation is not the way to win the war on drugs. It's only taken them, how long - 90+ years to figure that out? And especially after prohibition in the USA, which just showed that if you criminalise something the people actually want, it just creates huge cartels with murderous gangsters who end up getting filthy rich purely because of the fact that something is illegal. More people have died in Mexico from fighting amongst rival drug cartels than the entire death toll from the war in Afghanistan, if drugs were legalised, taxed and controlled the majority of those people would still be alive.

How can a human being be that stupid? She went back to the same country that was looking for her to put her 22 years in prison.

 

    I'm sorry, hut this drug took some friends away from me even when we've tried all to get them down.

 

   I don't care how long she's in jail, she deserves pretty much everything excluding help.

Most likely she did not have a choice after losing the first shipment. If she refused she she may have not been alive now. The Viet gangs in Australia are ruthless.

Dumb for her to return to cambodia...not one once of common sense...

Australia has many Cambodians and people from all over Asia, so to answer your question possibly.

We lifted the white Australia policy in the 1970s
