[Closed] Indonesian Drug Laws?

mjdcc - Member

on one level you are right chewkw but it is a very high risk strategy.

Yes, it is a high risk strategy but is there any other option? At least you can have one last try ...

The British govt can intervene but this will be perceived as meddling with their laws, which might even stir up their (nationalist) hatred even more.

Historically, the Dutch treated them like dirt as when they were their colonial master and with brutality ... this feeling has not gone away put it this way.

What the British govt can do in future is to negotiate with the Indonesian govt a way out for future British trafficker(s) caught. i.e. an agreement to pay some sort of compensation or whatever is seen as acceptable to the govt there. I am sure such negotiation will work so long as the extreme elements (people with extreme belief) are not involved.

Also, the British media has essentially sentenced her to death too when they broadcasted the news loudly worldwide, which make it very unlikely for the Indonesian govt to back off because they would loose face ... even if they want to have a backdoor deal they can't because everyone is watching and they need to maintain their stance.

Same applies to ALL the neighbouring countries but I bet if the Queen personally asks them to pardon the crime/trafficker(s) the Indonesian govt will pardon them but don't over use it though.

However, if the British PM demands/asks for pardon I doubt it will work ... I think they think he is a bit too young ...

For once Chewkw you've posted something that reads quite well.

Keep it up instead of calling people maggots or making racist impersonations.

I treat human kind with fairness 😆

They are all maggots unless I unchecked them from my list which can be very few.

p/s: I rather the British PM bow to ask to pardon the traffickers ... Not the Queen.

I've done a fair few drugs in my years on this planet, so I'm not coming from a moralistic viewpoint when I say that I couldn't give a rat's arse when they get nabbed and thrown into a hole for the rest of their lives. It's Darwin at work, removing their genes from the gene-pool.
