I'm struggling to sympathise with this woman. Even if there were no intent to sell the drugs. She took prescription drugs that weren't even prescribed to her personally to another country where they are illegal and her family and others think she's an innocent lamb we should being home as if she is somehow above the law. She broke the law and unfortunately there are consequences. I think she was quite lucky to only get 3 years.

i think its a fair sentence for the crime. She was found guilty of possession rather than trafficking, so it could have been a lot worse

why anyone would go to Egypt is beyond me, it really is

the pyramids seem beautiful, which is a good reason for tourism

they look pretty dull to me and a rancid tourist rip off site

I have no sympathy for her tbh. She knew what she was doing, her fella knows the laws of his own country (as probably did she) and still let her do it so he can't think too much of her either.

Yes. Indeed

I have learnt beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :shrug:

that resort, was that the one that all the tourists were murdered in?

yeah, there is nothing like sitting sunbathing with a kindle waiting to have your brains blown out by a coke-head muslim 20 year old ISIS fckface

:thumbs:

3 years for taking a bunch of weak ass tramadol abroad? Get the **** outta here. Pedos and rapists get less than that.

egypt is a **** hole, its not a standard tourist destination anymore

No sympathy, that drug is toxic.

She was silly and effectively a mule but for a painkiller that is legal in her country and she ( allegedly) had no clue was a narcotic it's a heavy handed sentence.

According to the Hull Daily mail, she's been attacked already.

I've got a feeling our local newspaper are gonna run her story for the next 3 years.

She is being released in the next 48 hours

I heard something earlier about this, something to do with some sort of forgivness day in Egypt, but I thought it was a joke.

I think she was very foolish and perhaps naive and boy is she paying for that foolishness, I can't even contemplate how scared I would be to be stuck in a prison in a foreign country where people don't speak English. One thing I do know, she will certainly have learned her lesson that its not good to go against another country rule.

Her pardon has been withdrawn

I am guessing because her family went to the press with the information
