Death penalty is defintely harsh, but one should always know the laws and consequeces of the country one is visiting. And it's not like herion is a 'soft' drug.
And this is the third time in the past year an Aussie has gotten into trouble in a foriegn nation carrying drugs. One woman got caught with an massive amount of pot (in the Philipeans, so much so she was obviously selling though she claimed it was planted on her by backage handlers.) Another girl, a model or actress I believe got busted with two pills of E (now that one was dumb, you're obviously not selling two pills) and faced 10 or more years I think.
I don't know what happened to them. The first was sentanced though there was going to be an appeal.
The gum thing though is obviously stupid.
