snoop1130 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Two Thai women get 16 years each for smuggling drugs into Bali By The Nation A Bali airport official reported on October 21 that two Thai women, identified as Kasarin Khamkhao and Sanicha Maneetes, had been arrested for the possession of 958 grams of methamphetamine. The women – a janitor and the operator of a motorcycle rental shop – would have faced the firing squad in Muslim-majority Indonesia, which has one of the world’s strictest drug laws. However, the court only sentenced them to 16 years in prison each. The two women had swallowed close to a kilogram of methamphetamines.

I'm not saying its wrong, just that its an awful large part of a persons life. A bid to make a lot of money thats left them worse off than being poor. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bwpage3 Posted October 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2019 Desperation and greed, combine that with low class education and the end result is a large part of their life spent in a foreign prison. Thai's really have no understanding of how severe the law can be outside of Thailand and often learn the extremely hard way. Sad story 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, but these were Thais, from a S.E.Asia nation where there are harsh punishments for drug possession and trafficking. I would have thought they would realize by going to Bali (Indo) they were taking a grave risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dcnx Posted October 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2019 It’s not uncommon for women to be forced into being a drug mule by gangs / pimps. Sometimes their children are taken from them or family members threatened with death. Without knowing the full story I won’t pass judgment here. 19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestB Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 However, the court only sentenced them to 16 years in prison each. Only? i suppose in comparison to firing squad than the "only" part is passable, but 16 years in jail is hardly "only" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes their children are taken from them or family members threatened with death. Without knowing the full story I won’t pass judgment here. yes, there can be many facets. From all the cases and stories I have read over the years, the convicted seem to rarely rat out their accomplices. Fear of reprisals at home, while in prison, or whatever. Or sometimes they really kept in the dark about details and don't have real names or contacts to give the authorities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
