431519OK, I understand all the arguments about its the law of the land and he knew the risks, blah, blah. But the death penalty for hash? For Gods sake, its even legal in some countries of the World. Please get friggin real. The stuff is grown wholesale in Aceh, and that is a business controlled by ......?
I understand that 500 ecstasy tablets were found in the possession of a group of druggies, one whom was an ex Presidents granddaughter: that quantity is unquestionably Dealing. Death penalty? For a foreigner maybe.
Let's face, far more harm in corruption, and that's a misdemeanour in Indonesia.
The usual hypocrisy and total absence of any compassion.

A Japanese man on trial at Denpasar District Court for smuggling five kilograms of hashish into Bali has protested against the death sentence demanded by prosecutors, saying he was just a courier.
“The death sentence should be given to the head of a drug syndicate, not to a person like me,” Morita Yuki, 35, told the court on Thursday.
Yuki was arrested at Ngurah Rai International Airport in November last year after 5.9 kilograms of hashish was found in his luggage. Earlier, he admitted to having bought the drug from a resident of Himachal Pladesh, India, and planned to take it to Bali and Australia. Prosecutor Ida Ayu Sulasmi argued that the defendant had violated the 2009 Narcotics Law which carries a maximum penalty of death.
