I often hear, but easily doubt some of such Asian country's harsh laws which demands an immigrant's life for smuggling drugs into the country. Such countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Bangkok, and of course the Indonesian island of Bali which opened my eyes to belief of what I hitherto doubted with the recent events of a British mother who's allegedly about to face death by firing squad for smuggling £1.6m of cocaine into Bali.
Briton Lindsay Sandiford, 56, mother of two happens to be a victim of circumstance when a group of drugpins threatened to kill one of her sons if she doesn't deliver some wraps of cocaine to a destination in Bangkok. Unfortunately, she was nabbed and has already faced the shame of being paraded before the media, bowing her head and hiding her tears with her hands.
According to Mrs Sandiford, she did all that just to save her son, Elliot, who was under threat to be killed for allegedly snitching some drug peddlers in his area. She was subjected to humiliating activities ranging from being paraded for press, to denied of sleep in the guise of intermittent interrogations.
It is alleged that maximum sentence for drug trafficking in Indonesia is death by firing squad; and this, Mrs Sandiford is likely to face as she further added she can't afford the exorbitant amount of money which will get her a lawyer that could get her of the hook.
