..I’m sorry, I know I’m being stupid and emotional about this but we should remember that it was recommended 15 years imprisonment...they decided to change that because she ‘damaged the image of the tourist industry’...how ironic.....

..if this execution actually happens I doubt anyone will feel a sense of justice....just sickening...

I am sure her sentence will be commuted to 15 years Ammi....in my mind , this turn around by the judge is more about showing the world what they can do but I doubt very much they will do it. There is the appeals process and clemency and I am sure our Foreign office will be involved too.

Whether she was naive or spinning a very good story about her children being threatened we will never know
