Does anyone know how much he got caught with?

Also he claims to have biplolar disorder and was mentall ill so that that china can be lenient with him? Does this remind anyone of the pentagon hacker that now has suddenley developed a mental illness in order to escape prosecution in America?

I remember when people used to do the crime and then do the time without crying like a baby when they got caught!

Haven't seen in any of the reports the amount he was supposed to have been carrying. It will be interesting to see the outcome of this case.

Sunday Times said 9lb of heroin. Also paper said that 'for at least six years Shaikh had demonstrated increasingly bizarre and erratic behaviour including bombarding various world statesmen with incomprehensible and rambling emails.' And the two he met in Poland promised to help make him a pop star in China.

I believe that our national press has quoted a figure of 4kg – but then, when your down the pub writing tomorrows headlines, it doesn’t look too good if its only 10mg.

I recall, back in the 80’s, a British national was executed (in Thailand I think), when he and a fellow traveler were caught with drugs. Each claimed the other was responsible for the drugs in their luggage. Possibly both were guilty, but one might well have been totally innocent.

If you don't obey the law of the land you are in ..Tough.
Ironic that he would have only had to pick up litter for a few hours here.
C'est la vie...or not..In this case

He would have handed it to whoever had been arranged to collect it.

Bi Polar varies. Some sufferers really have no concept of real life when they are on a high. One sufferer thought he was Jesus Christ for months...then they have the lows.

[ummmm]

There is a chance he could have easily been persuaded to carry anything and been completely ignorant to what it was..

The chinese want the London cabby 'knowledge test'. He shouldn't have forgotten it - irriott!

[ummmm]

People with bi polar don't suddenly forget how to speak and hear.

Give this package to so and so and he will help you be a pop star.

[ummmm]

I'm not saying I have an opinion either way. Just that Bi Polar could be used as a reason he done something so stupid.

UK do not have the death penalty so there is no comparison.

If he was caught here his medical records would be taken into consideration.
