Danish Prisoner in Thailand Warns Against Drug Crimes
File photo courtesy: Matichon John, a 55-year-old Danish man, shares his grim experiences from a Thai prison where he has been held for over five years on drug charges, urging others to heed his warning. John was arrested in early 2021 for possessing cannabis and over nine grams of methamphetamine. Originally sentenced to 28 years, his term was reduced to just over five years following appeals and changes in laws. Speaking to the DR programme Kriminelt, John recounts daily struggles in a cramped cell shared with around 60 inmates, the constant noise of Thai TV shows, and the suffocating monotony of prison life, all of which have taken a toll on his well-being. The number of Danes jailed in Asia for drug-related crimes has more than doubled this year, with 15 currently imprisoned in the region. John's case highlights the severe penalties and isolation faced by foreigners under strict local drug laws. Beyond the physical confinement, he faces legal and financial obstacles, including a substantial 72,000 kroner fine that hinders his efforts to transfer to a Danish prison, reported .Karoline Rosenkrantz Paasch for ScandAsia. John regrets his past actions and urges others to reflect on the potential consequences of engaging in criminal activities abroad. "I didn’t realise the risk was so high or that it could end so badly," he admits. His message is a stark reminder of the realities of foreign prisons and the seriousness of drug laws outside Denmark. The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has noted the rise in such cases but hasn’t responded specifically to John's situation. Meanwhile, DR News awaits comments from the Thai embassy in Denmark. -- 2024-12-07 -

Biden Administration Weighs Preemptive Pardons Amid Trump’s Return
That breaks the law. "Trump's pick for FBI director has vowed to "come after" the media. But he also later emphasized to NBC News that his comments apply *only if people "broke the law." The FBI under James Comey tried to overthrow Trumps presidency with a HRC fake Russia dossier the FBI KNEW WAS FAKE. That same FBI lied to the FISA court to illegally spy on President Trump and his campaign, that same FBI knew Hunters laptop was legitimate but called it "russian disinformation". Now do Kash Patels accomplishments, his acumen, etc and don't forget the AAG Award he received for investigating and prosecuting terrorists under the Obama administration. *Link/NBC -
