Two Thai women get 16 years each for smuggling drugs into Bali
A Bali airport official reported on October 21 that two Thai women, identified as Kasarin Khamkhao and Sanicha Maneetes, had been arrested for the possession of 958 grams of methamphetamine.
The women – a janitor and the operator of a motorcycle rental shop – would have faced the firing squad in Muslim-majority Indonesia, which has one of the world’s strictest drug laws. However, the court only sentenced them to 16 years in prison each. The two women had swallowed close to a kilogram of methamphetamines.
