British Grandmother Weeps as She Hears Bali Death Sentence
Drug Possession: British grandmother weeps as she hears Bali death sentence
Lindsay Sandiford, 56, weeps as judges handed down the sentence for smuggling 10.6lb of cocaine of the drug hidden in the lining of her suitcase on a flight from Bangkok in May. Linsday Sandiford, a 56-year-old British grandmother, has been sentenced to death by firing squad in Indonesia for drug trafficking. Sandiford, from Redcar in Teesside, has insisted she was set up and was forced by a gang to smuggle drugs to Bali to protect her children. However, a court in Bali found she was at the centre of an alleged drug ring involving three other Britons and did not appear to have shown remorse. On hearing the sentence, Sandiford wept and declined to comment as she was led back to prison, covering her face with a scarf. Her lawyer said it was likely an appeal would be launched against the sentence. “We object to the sentence. We never expected that our client would get the death penalty,” said counsel Esra Karokaro. “We will discuss it first with her, most likely we will appeal.” Prisoners sentenced to death in Indonesia are executed by a 10 man firing squad. Though the sentence can be overturned on appeal, prisoners will often spend years waiting for their fate to be decided. A report by Australia’s Lowy Institute last year said five foreign nationals have been executed in Indonesia since 1998, all for drug crimes. She was arrested last May upon arrival from Bangkok at Bali’s Denpasar airport after customs officials carried out a routine check and found 10.6lb of cocaine …

Thank? you
yeah, your? lack of education is pretty damn obvious.
If by “educated” you mean brain washed and lead like a sheep? Then no, i’m not? “educated” at all.
You sound very “righteous” yourself! Who decides which? crimes are worse? And don’t say god, because he want people killed for adultery and being gay.We all have are own views on morality. Someone will always disagree because the world is not black and white. I personally won’t be loosing any sleep over the death of a convicted drug smuggler.
The judge thinks he’s so righteous to end this ladies life. I think most people would agree the crime would have to be way worse to justify killing a person. The system is so corrupt over there and they lack? a moral compass, their religion is without God
i have no idea what they mean? listen, i can clearly tell you arent educated on such topics, so im not going to waste my time discussing this with you. if you think? the nazis were left wing of socialist then you clearly have never studied anything to do with history, politics or sociology. if you had you would have learnt the reason hitler called his party the national socialists.
Also when you say “read a history book” , shall i? read a history book by David Irving. He often claims the holocaust never happened. Or should people only read the books you say they can. Or maybe you don’t believe the holocaust happened. Comments like “read a history book” is typical cunt speak.
Listen. You may wish to rewrite history to fit your blinkered view of the world. Maybe he was not a Marxist, but he was a socialist. You use words like leftwing and rightwing and they have no real meaning any more. People just use them and 9 out of 10? times they mean something completely different than what someone else believes they mean. NAZI = national SOCIALIST workers party.
To say “drugs are in society whether we like it or not” is pathetic.Do you say the same about rape and paedophilia. As an ex drug user, i agree that we should help addicts. This woman is a grow adult that thought she could make money smuggling drugs, she failed. Fuck her. She is not a 15 year old experimenting with friends? and ending up hooked. You really should go out and see the damage drugs do to people and stop defending filth like her.
Drugs are in society weather we like it or not, some people get caught up with the wrong crowd when they’re young and get hooked and make bad decisions but instead of just killing them or locking them away for ever the government should try to help them. The problem is that the governments see drug use as “evil” or? “rebellious” etc. But really that’s just the culture that was created in the 20th century. our ancestors used mind altering substances without being murdered over it.
no. no he wasnt for fucks sake. go read a history? book.
Actually, Hitler was a socialist. ?
i call racist germans nazis, like you son. typical left wing nutter? it was you right wing germans that massacred people and started ww2. are you aware of your history? and no, right wingers are the less educated, as? you perfectly demonstrate.
Well? said!
Shoot the? bitch!
“clearly”? I think maybe? you watch to many Hollywood movies.
I mean in australia we had a young girl take in a fucking boogie board stashed with pot and there was a group who had coke taped to their bellies, the smart ass dealer smart mouthed a bali cop, they got busted and now thay are all sentenced to life or execution. Fuckwits!!?
Hmm, why the fuck would you try taking drugs? into bali?. I mean its a very corrupt country but if the cops catch you tracking drugs in and you dont know the correct person to pay off you are fucked. I think their cops will bust the idiots who wont play the game correctly.
These people are not right in the head!? An unforgiving religious government killing people. They have no mercy even for some poor woman who clearly is not a drug kingpin.
