Lite Beer Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Quarter million Spaniards call for Yuyee’s releaseBy Coconuts Bangkok BANGKOK: -- Hundred of thousands of Spanish netizens have signed onto a campaign urging Thailand to release “Yuyee,” a former Thai model and wife of a Spanish TV host.Two weeks after Chatchaya “Yuyee” Cuesta Ramos was sentenced to 15 years in prison for smuggling 250 milligrams of cocaine through Don Mueang Airport two years ago, more than 250,000 signatures have been collected on online petitions “freeyuyee” and “justice4yuyee.”At the heart of their campaign are questions about the Thai justice system’s handling of her case.

Popular Post ratcatcher Posted June 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2014 IMHO it is a good thing Senora Cuesta-Ramos is getting the publicity as the punishment certainly doesn't fit the crime. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coma Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I wonder if Spain was still in the world cup that the Spaniards would be interested in the plight of Yuyee. But in all seriousness she is being played for something else that we are unaware of. It is the only way I can see such a harsh penalty being applied to such a minuscule crime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely RC, there are a number of other things which closely haven't been taken into consideration. This punishment is absolutely ridiculous, and show what a farce the drug laws are here, not just in Thailand but in SEA. This was certainly not a case of trafficking. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbonRatch Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 She smuggled it 2 years ago? That's not what we were informed. Good luck Spaniards, but you're part of the EU. Thailand doesn't give a crock about EU opinion, until it needs to respond to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand doesn't give a crock about EU opinion, until it needs to respond to it! "She smuggled it 2 years ago? That's not what we were informed." The former model was arrested on November 10, 2012, when immigration police reported that they had been tipped off that Ms Yu-Yee was carrying drugs into Thailand through Don Mueang International Airport. http://www.mcot.net/site/content?id=53996122be0470e1068b4576#.U6_yf5SSxUo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubl Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 "The suspect claimed the was given the tube of chocolate by a passenger on the plane during her flight back from Vietnam, adding that she had no idea that the tube was filled with cocaine." That's from the MCOT article about the sentencing on June 20th. Unclear is what type of endangered animals she was trying to smuggle into the country, a feat 'earning' her another 3 months.

Popular Post Bender Posted June 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2014 15 years jail sentence was not for the 0.25 gr drug smuggling. Its completely insane. The judge get mad at her, because as a beautiful supermodel, why she did married a foreigner ? Why she didnt become the mia noi of a rich thai? 15 years to teach her a lesson. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Im wondering who tipped her off? Do you mean who shopped her, ratted her out, spilt the beans, did the dirty on her? Someone tipped off the authorities anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's from the MCOT article about the sentencing on June 20th. Unclear is what type of endangered animals she was trying to smuggle into the country, a feat 'earning' her another 3 months. maybe the sentences given to her should have been switched. 3 months makes more sense for 5- 251 milligrams! there is doubt as to what the amount of the drug in her possession really was.

Popular Post saakura Posted June 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sad she had to go down the drugy use route. Good life that was not enough. Yes it is very sad that she went down this route and certainly deserves condemnation. But for the miniscule amount which she was caught with, the sentence is senselessly out of proportion. She has suffered enough ignonimity and shame and should be allowed to go home and repair her damaged life. Unless there is more to the story which we do not know about, the judge who sentenced her should be hauled up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found an article from the BangkokPost of 2012-11-12 saying Ms. Yuyee had 5mg in her purse and said she used it in Vietnam, only had it for her on use. The 'endangered species' parts was said to relate to a raid on her house in Bangkok in June 2012 with various animals and birds found, some endangered species. The article has Ms. Yuyee saying she cared for them to later release them in the wild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post boomerangutang Posted June 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sad she had to go down the drugy use route. Good life that was not enough. 'Down the drugy use route' ...what does that mean? Oh, you mean doing some drugs for recreation? People have been doing such things since people first existed, about 270,000 years ago. Does 'drugy use route' apply to the use of the most harmful drug also? Of course, I'm referring to the drug that lawmakers and law enforcers use; alcohol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that if she could lay her hand on a much larger amount of drugs would she take them? of course she would ! and where dose it says that's it's ok to use drugs, or little drugs or just for fun drugs? where???? simple, if you don't want to see the inside of a jail cell don't do drugs, and if you do, expect the worst, In my opinion, too many bleeding hearts are out there pitying and feeling sorry about people who abuse and deal drugs and other vises, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points. At the end of the day she imported drugs (doesn't matter what amount) and she got what she deserved. "Sorry sir...it's only a small amount" doesn't really cut it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
