Young British Woman Faces The Death Penalty In Egypt.

[Vicky]

Thirty-Three year old Laura Plummer from Hull faces twenty-five years in prison or the death penalty after she was caught with twenty-nine strips of Tramadol tablets in her suitcase.

Plummer was taking the drugs into the country for her husband who suffers from a bad back, but Tramadol are banned in Egypt, because there often used as a substitute for heroin.

Of course she claims, she didn't know she was doing anything wrong.

Well they all say that, when they get caught.

Anyway..

Her husband lives in Egypt so he must have known they were banned in the country.

Plus it's a bit of a strange set up with this marriage, seeing as they only see each other four times a year.

Sounds ideal.

I'm guessing she was coerced by her Egyptian husband to bring them into the country for whatever means he needed them. Just wondering how she got hold of them since they are prescription only here. I doubt she knew they were illegal in Egypt as she had not apparently concealed them, just stupid and naive and not deserving a prison sentence or worse.

Coerced ?

If that was the case, surely £23 worth was a bit silly ?

I might be inclined to believe coercion for £2,300 worth, but £23 ?

Just a silly mare who didn't think to check is my guess.

As for people married and seeing each other 4 times a year, check out the lives of married merchant seamen (and RN), and offshore oil workers.

I took Tramadol at intermittent times, my ex wife would give my daughter a few strips now and again to give to me for a pain in my shoulders and neck, they are excellent.

Make you relax and feel good, bit like you don't give a fuck about anything. I was told they were highly addictive but I never found that as I could take or leave them whenever I wanted.

When the supply dried up I was a bit disappointed at not having them around but it soon passed and I don't think much about them now ...... but I would just like to hold a strip or two now and again ......... my little precioussssses.

This is what the Foreign Office post on their website for all the United Arab Emirates and middle East countries.

"You should respect local traditions, customs, laws and religions at all times. There may be serious penalties for doing something that might not be illegal in the UK."

It's a shame they don't get their counterparts in the home office to issue this to all the shit and detritus that lands on our shores from across the globe.

unless one has no common sense, one would check what drugs you can and can not take into a country , one can’t be that dumb,

I got given morphine by the ambulance crew when I collapsed a lung and a fortnight's supply of Tramadol when I got discharged. I binned them after two days, I'd prefer to have the pain.

Apparently he's not even her husband. he's a Muslim and already has a wife and children.

Sounds like he asked her to bring the Tramadol to help his bad back and she was daft enough to do it without checking it was oK to do so.

She doesn't deserve the death sentence for sure.

Cannydc blames brexit for this.
