I am not sure that they will. I think a couple of europeans were executed in the far east for drug smuggling within the last couple of years, I cannot remember where though. :oops:

I don't see why she should receive a lighter sentence just because she's a foreigner.
If I were them, I'd throw the book at her too.

I'm not a fan of the death penalty, but if that's their punishment, then that's their punishment. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Also most other countries have far more draconian laws on drugs. In some you would be lucky to get out alive.
