I think the entire situation is extremely sad..... It doesnt sound as if she even had a chance at a fair trial. Once they find someone with drugs in a country like that- the decision has been made that you are guilty and will be punished to the full extent of the law. It's just really hard for me coming from the country that I come from- how someone could possibly get that much time for the amount of pot they had. Now I am by no means a fan of drugs (I actually am very against even pot), but to give someone 20 years for possession, is something I cant even begin to fathom. Especially in a situation like this, when she may very well be innocent.
