[quote="TGB!":a39be]Its THEIR country. THEIR laws. This is why you make sure you know whats on you at ALL times. If shes innocent then its fucked up - but you cant piss on that countries shoes because they have a law stricter than yours. And its Indonesia folks - not freaking Canada.[/quote:a39be]

Don't you think it's kind of silly though? I mean, a crime like that, it could be pretty easy to be framed/innocent and end up being killed for such a petty, victimless crime.....Frightening if you're a foreigner.

I mean, that could have been planted by someone in the airport.....If you wanted to murder someone, shit, just give 'em a kilo of marijuana and a ticket to Indonesia, the government there will take care of it.

...It's a bit extreme to have a death penalty for that....Life in prison is bad enough to deter criminals.
