Quoting kai: Quoting gezbelle: Quoting kai: but 30 years for smuggling haşiş?

schapelle corby got 20 years for it in indonesia... |
20 years?!! 
I swear some justice systems are unbelieveable! There is this one case I know of, where this woman was cheating on her husband and her husband found out killed them both (his wife and the man she was having an affair with) in a gruesome way and he got 5 years prison sentence.
Another guy was deal drugs (not class A either) and he got sentenced to 7 years! tell me how a clear murderer gets less than a drug dealer?
Ok I agree with sazji about they should be punished for what they did and know the consequences of their actions, but 20/30 years for haşiş? when there is worse crimes going on with less years following the sentences
OOF reminds me of John Reid (who by the way I think is a total idiot!!! - my opinion!)   |
evet 20 years. it caused a huge uproar here in australia. she was tried and convicted of smuggling 4.1kg of cannabis into indonesia.
the drug laws in south-east asia are very strict. i could go into detail why, but that would be going too far off-topic 
unfortunately, many tourists/travellers don't pay attention and get caught.
there are 9 other australians (the bali 9) in indonesia who are on death row because they attempted to smuggle heroin out of indonesia.
westerners might think this justice system is unbelievable, barbaric, etc. but it is basically a last ditch attempt by these governments to stop the trafficking of drugs to and out of their countries.
you could also look at it this way...drug dealing is in a way similar to killing people.
but i do agree that there are other crimes where the perpertrators don't get harsh enough sentences.
ok, i've gone way off-topic...
