No the UK government should not get involved. What kind of message would that send out to other would-be drug smugglers? It's incredibly harsh, but they are making an example out of her.
Bali have said this has damaged their tourism and weakened the governments anti-drugs programme, but if the UK government gets involved and tries to get her a prison sentence as opposed to the death penalty then what does that say about us. We're already known as a soft touch country!

But surely all this has been looked into. If she could have proved these claims then she wouldn't be getting death by a firing squad! It's awful, but I just can't believe anyone would do something like this (knowing the huge risks involved) rather than going to the police about the "gangster threats".

Just been reading some more on this and I'm confused as to why the others only got prison sentences? Julian Ponder and his partner Rachel Dougall got 7 years between them, yet they are apparently known as the 'the King and Queen of Bali' because of their extravagant lifestyle. They must have been higher up than her, she was just the dogsbody who carried the stuff, so why not sentence them to death also?
