"Indonesia enforces stiff penalties, including death, for drug trafficking". Yes good so. And it carries stiff penalties for stealing a duck or carrying a pocket knife. But dont worry: there is light sentences too, for example if you kill someone out of religious believe, or have just have a lot of money. And stealing lot of money gives you light sentence too, if any at all.

An Indonesian court sentenced a Filipino woman to 18 years in prison on Thursday for smuggling 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine into the country.

Evangeline Soneta, 29, was caught with the narcotics when she arrived in Surabaya airport from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in September 2009.

“We sentence her to 18 years in jail,” judge Sariyana said.

The sentence was less than the prosecutor’s recommendation of life in jail.
