EdgarusQPFC Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Is it true one of them claimed they would rather die than go to jail? I'm sure I heard someone say that. Edited August 16, 2013 by EdgarusQPFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamdunk Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 the letters page £50 winner in todays sun hits the nail on the head.why didn't they tell cops at the airports on arrival that they were forced to carry drugs don't think the Columbian gangsters were with them holding guns to their heads in an airport... They could have been too scared to go to the police, and it's hardly an amnesty going up to foreign cops in an airport and telling them you've been forced into smuggling, they could still get jailed for it.. Basically, there's a lot of conclusions being jumped to and quite a lot of hate being shown in this topic. We don't know whether or not they've done it willingly or not, it might not even make much difference to the verdict anyway. At best they've got a pretty farfetched story, at worst they've made a bad decision and will suffer the consequences, dont really see why there's such hatred over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Your daughter is banged up in a Peruvian prison and you fly to the other side of the world to see her. What do you take for her? Her Ugg boots and a onesie. Fucking genius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of it. No, I wasn't saying that. I was saying that drug users are not the only folk hurt by the drugs trade. People can't just cop out by saying "oh I was only ruining drug users lives and they made the choice themselves" as much more people are affected than that. All I was saying. As for the case I haven't really been looking at it much but I suppose I would like to believe the 'daft wee lassies' sort of idea. They've made a biiiig mistake either way (if they willingly did this) but they just seem like dafties to me. If they were forced into this it's absolutely not something they can be held up for. Like I said though I'm not really sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Cocaine does cause misery. Can't remember the last time I got some decent gear. Sounds like these brave gals were trying to rectify that. Godspeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longjohn Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Why are the British government supporting them? They commited an idiotic crime let them deal with it. The UK government will provide consular assistance to UK nationals detained abroad. They will ensure that the accused receive treatment comparable to that of the natives of the country in question. This means proper access to lawyers etc. They can also provide regular visits to those in custody to ensure that they have been appropriately treated. The UK government and the Embassy concerned will stress that they cannot interfere in the workings of the judicial system of the country in question, they cannot get people off or influence cases or judgments in any way.

shawfield shed boy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I personally would love to attend a Peruvian customs Christmas party. Imagine the quality of the gear, you'd be buzzing for days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Shut up pete, i have no extreme views, other than the fact that these girls are completely complicit with what they did and deserve to be punished fully within Peruvian laws. I don't know what you work as but im pretty sure if i did i could throw a whole lot of anecdotes your way! My point stands, if any defence arises that these girls had no idea they were in peru to transport drugs etc then they are quite simply the stupidest people who have ever existed. If they claim they were forced into it etc this is also stupid, they are seasonal workers in spain and simply could have left. Unless the reports are significantly wrong then these girls tried to transport a serious quantity of drugs and deserve to be treated as hardened criminals. I don't see whats extreme about that but i'll leave it to you. I think most people were taking issue with "don't deserve to live". Still, some quality goalpost-shifting, there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
