To mypeace- be careful what u say not everyone living abroad is into drug trafficking, and i suppose trafficking does not warrant a death sentence!!!!! wot do u think nairalanders?

Hmmm those guys dont play in Singapore when it comes to drugs infact most parts of the middle east and South east asia if you are caught its off with your head its not like here in the States where your weight would probably determine your jailtime so if you gonna move any weight to that side of the world you gotta be ready to die

This people SHa , Well i cant blame anybody 90% of the rich Men in turkey are drug dealers, but if they cash any Nigerian Na war

na waaaooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

hey guys! i just came here to discuss this issue of nigerians and drug pushing. I am highly disappointed with that attitude and if feels like they are not learning any thing.

Now a british Nigerian woman orobato will b hanged by next month on drug charges. its very annoying when i see these kind of things cuz it destroys d image of nigerians abroad. Imagine in the northern part of pakistan which has one of the most beautiful mountains and views in the world is a no go area for nigerians; we are actually banned from going there. we also pay very high fees for staying in Iran to enjoy the same services other foreigners pay cheaply for cuz they are afraid of harbouring Nigerians. Its sad but Nigerians caught deserve to be killed cuz drugs destroy lives after all; in fact a lot of nigerian youths are suffering from the effects of using hard drugs. Just last month, an 18 year old Nigerian from the northern part of the country who just got admission to study in dubai was caught with a wrap of weed which he hid in his pocket cuz he wanted to show his friends that he could do it. Luckily for him, he is only gettin some months of prison term and definately he will face deportation after the term.

They deserve pity but punishment is surely a deterrent that is necessary to teach those who are still alive to restrain,

hummmmmmmm

Let him hang

*** NEWS FLASH ***

A British woman held in a Laos prison for allegedly drug smuggling will not face the death penalty if convicted because she is pregnant, says the country's government.

Samantha Orobator, 20, has been allowed to see a British government official, but was refused the chance to speak to a U.K. lawyer.

The Laos government says the country's law bans executing pregnant prisoners.

Khenthong Nuanthasing of the Lao Foreign Ministry said her trial will not be held until next week so that an "appropriate lawyer" could be found to defend her.

The Foreign Office said the British vice-consul from Bangkok, in Thailand, had been allowed into Phonthong prison to speak to Orobator.

But lawyer Anna Morris, who has flown to the southeast Asian country on behalf of the legal rights charity Reprieve, said she was refused access even though she had arranged to meet the Briton.

A statement from Reprieve said no explanation had been given by the Lao authorities as to why the meeting was cancelled.

Morris said: "I am deeply frustrated by the lack of access to this vulnerable young woman. This is preventing Reprieve from obtaining first hand knowledge of her welfare and how she is being treated in prison.

"I also do not have any news of a trial date, despite being told at incredibly short notice that it will take place this week.

"We urge the Lao authorities allow us access to speak to Samantha as promised, to appoint her a Laotian lawyer and to conduct a fair and open trial process."

Orobator has been held in jail since last August after she was allegedly caught with 1.5 lb of heroin at Wattay airport.

Those caught with more than the 1.1lb normally face a mandatory death penalty.

Orobator, who is five months pregnant, is detained in Phonthong Prison in Vientiane, a collection of shabby huts, behind walls of razor wire, and watch-towers.

Former inmate Kay Danes said the jail is little more than a torture camp. Torture, which she says is both physical and mental, and involves putting prisoners in medieval stocks.

I have sent an email to them.They won't kill him.I was promised (by unconfirmed sources)

The laws are very clear in those asian lands, if you are caught your head is off, so what are we saying?

Simply shift your trade to other lands where you dont have the death sentence.

You are obviously a very silly man. Is drug dealing the only way to survive? Many Nigerians are going through a very tough time and still keep their hands off drug and all sorts of bad things . Why have you not tried the same drug business? Oh! maybe u are very rich

Keep giving excuses for him, he will thank you from his grave.
