She is Highly Educated

She was just Rushed into Court
The Police were in Swat type clothes.

Mark Stone (SkyNewsHD) the only Live Reporter
from the UK there Shouted "how are you"
but she was rushed fast
to stop any Locals attacking her.

When you travel to such places you need to use your common sense and the only way you can do that is by informing and understanding some of the odd customs and laws.

Taking half a dozen packets of chewing gum into Singapore can land you a year in jail and you could be landed with a hefty fine if you sipped some water from a bottle on any of there metro systems.

Its the same in Dubai or the United Arab Emirates. During Ramadan if you are caught eating within a public space you can be fined and even jailed.

Don't walk into any Eastern temple without covering your shoulders and if you have any visible tattoos that depict Buddhism, don't let anyone see those tattoos whilst in Sri Lanka www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-27107857

Accidentally walk onto someone else's land in many American states and you could be legally shot dead. 'Castle Law' permits land owners to shoot, maim or kill trespasses without any legal restraints.

If you accidentally drop your money in Thailand, whatever you do, don't step on it. stepping on the kings head is seen as sacrilege and could land you in jail.

Understand the customs and be a respectful traveller.

Just confirms what I've always thought that travelling is too hard work

Why the fine for drinking water on the metro though?

It's a silly mistake, that's it

I don't know how anybody can defend the idea of jailing her. To what benefit? This whole ordeal is probably fitting punishment as it is, and sure, ban her from coming back. Prison would achieve absolutely nothing.

Clearly a disrespectful act, but this attitude of "well, it's what they believe so it's right to them" is no defense for whatever punishment they end up handing out. Many countries have all sorts of horrific laws, and yes ideally you should be aware and follow them while in the country, but if they are to be broken it shouldn't mean whatever punishment is decided should be respected or defended simply because it's "what they believe".

Thing is their beliefs aren't even that relevant really, that's a separate issue. They're being charged on public disturbance offences which basically every country in the world has. Someone got 16 months jail time in this country for swinging from a cenotaph. There was all sorts of outrage over the graffiti on the WWII monument and you can be sure that if they knew who did it they would be prosecuted as well. How well would it go down in America if you burnt the USA flag in public? But because this is a strange foreign country with weird beliefs it doesn't matter as much if you violate their most respected practices and locations?

They have strict rules (I think its on all public transport) that you can't eat or drink anything whilst travelling. They do have signs up with the penalty charges.

I don't know why other than, they don't want you littering or spilling drink.

Quite a stretch from what I was saying, perhaps I should have read more into it but it seemed to go further than public disturbance, when the blame for 18 earthquake-caused deaths were being aimed at the girl at least by a senior politician.

Though I don't even support prison sentences for the things you mention.

Maybe people should have to take an intelligence test before we let them loose in the world with a passport.

Admittedly I was being a bit polemical lol, but still the charge itself is relatively uncontroversial really. Tbh even if we do talk about their beliefs it's not that uncontroversial to claim that human wrongs provoke godly anger either. In the grand scheme of human history it wasn't that long ago that that was the commonly held belief in this country, it's not surprising that it prevails in some parts of the world particularly in more remote regions where indigenous religions still hold a lot of sway. All I'm saying is that to chastise them for that is as futile as it would have been to chastise our ancestors over it. If it is a problem then it is not one that can be confronted with mockery and insulting those faiths - they're deeply embedded in a lot of societies and won't die out overnight. You don't have to be pleased about that but if you are visiting those countries then you should show some acknowledgement of it.

Maybe people should have an intelligence test before they're allowed into positions of authority that allow them to make up rules so mind-bogglingly stupid that they almost sound like parody...

Yes, a bit more complex than a common-or-garden degree like Law one would imagine .

Don't worry though Livia, Law is still a hop, skip and jump ahead of Psychology, so I'm not taking any sort of high ground .

Sadly intelligence can't be taught, TS. Some of the stupidest people I know have degrees, some of them two or even three. As Sandy Toksvig said, Cambridge is full of people who can split the atom but can't wire a plug.

Very true, some of the cleverest people I know don't have a degree at all whereas I know plenty of stupid graduates in Law, Engineering of various descriptions... Anything you can think of really. Most worrying in my opinion is the number of straight-up idiotic Med students I encountered at Uni. I can only assume many of them are now stupid doctors.

Scary, isn't it.

I don't believe you know any stupid lawyers.


I completely believe it.

You are so Lucky

3 months would have been far better
then you would never feck up again.

Yes fella
good job you rushed her in
or the locals would have hit her more

..maybe she doesn't want to talk about it and just try to forget her ordeal/I don't know..?...but if that's the case then I hope that she's left alone now...there are probably 'foreigners' disrespecting the cultures of other countries just about every day..dumb I know but also wrong that she's had to face such a full force of it all on her own with this....

Better to say something
and get rid of them
