Pardoned Drug Dealer Refused Entry To Thailand

Featured Replies

I guess this is news

Sandra Gregory who was pardoned by the King in 2000 for drug smuggling tried to enter Thailand and found that she is on the 'shit list' and was refused entry.

Acording to the article she's currently being held in Bangkok prior to deporation

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8392004.stm

Was it because she overstayed by 7 years last time?

What a stupid person, she must have S#!t for brains, or Perhaps she thinks she can write a book, and pretend to be a naive victim of circumstances.

I have no sympathy for people like this.

She was guilty, and admitted it, she was graciously given a pardon after serving only a few years of a 25 year sentence.

Why would anybody be stupid enough to go back, what an insult to Thailand.

(from BBC article)

Friends said Gregory had gone back to Thailand to "tie up loose ends".

The only loose ends to tie up are the remaining 20 years of her sentence.

Maybe they put her back in her old cell and lose the key.

(Edit: the 25 years was an earlier reduction from the death sentence)

My heart bleeds for the poor and misunderstood smack trafficker. How terrible that her plans to revisit the scene of her crime were so cruelly curtailed, and quite right that the BBC article reads like she is some kind of victim.

How about balancing her tragic story of deportation by quoting people whose lives have been ruined by heroin addiction?

Shame they let het out, and glad they are booting her out of the country.

She could try going to Singapore, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia or Vietnam, they are all sympathetic towards drug traffickers. Don't think they are big on pardons though.

She was guilty, and admitted it, she was graciously given a pardon after serving only a few years of a 25 year sentence. .....

..... (Edit: the 25 years was an earlier reduction from the death sentence)

There was heroin, packed in a condom, "found inside her body".

The sentence was reduced after she finally admitted guilt. What was her previous contention? Someone planted it?! :)
