How is this young lady five months pregnant if she has been in jail since August? Has it been reported or am I just a bit thick?

Read in paper she had been raped . Would not surprise me there.
I think wendillas right w.o.s , it could be one one of the guards in there, but I will never comprehend why these people take risks like this unless it had been planted on her which I would think highly unlikely, given that it was one and a half kilos of heroin she was caught with, I feel sorry for the mum in this country tho' as a mum myself, to see news reports that your daughter may face a firing squad, must be terrifying for her...

Sounds like hell on earth but, as you say, if you are caught and you have been smuggling then you have to appreciate what the consequences are. I think some of these young girls think it's gonna be like Bridget Jones and they'll be out in a week.
When Jesus was born didn't Mary have the same problem?
I don't think Mary was either accused of smuggling drugs, in jail or facing execution.
nonetheless, she might have had some explaining to do to Joseph. Personally, I've always though he's the one who comes out of the story best.
There's nothing like making it up as you go along, is there?

"raped / would not surprise me there" "I think so and so's right" "could be one of the guards" etc etc.

Yes, ladies, and were I a cynical sod I'd guess that it happened during a conjugal visit by her supplier to deliberately try to mitigate her sentence!!

I didn't realise we had any experts on Laos contributing?

It's like a scene from Last of the Summer Wine.
Laotian jails allow conjugal visits, do they? And how fortunate that she had a supplier stupid enough to visit her instead of vanishing into the jungle as most men in such situations would.
Am I mistaken , but wasn't there a similiar case a few years ago when two girls were caught allegedly smuggling banned substances , in some country or other ?

I seem to recall that there was much publicity given to that case and a lot more effort was expended in getting them release .

What is the difference in this case ?
It's been announced that she allegedly wasn't raped, therefore maybe my cynical side is correct after all?

Gosh, who would have thought it? Not some innocent young girl unwittingly caught up in a drug smuggling cartel! Such bad luck! Imagine just happening to be in the wrong place at such an inopportune moment?

And then to inadvertantly fall pregnant whilst incarcerated? Sounds like the immaculate conception to me!
Foreign jails tend to expect the prisoners families to provide for them, this means foreign nationals have to do without many things.
I would say it was "graft" that got her pregnant, just guessing mind.
Naturally she is innocent as there's no such thing as a fair trial abroad involving a British national.
What's the official reason she went to Laos in the first place?
Cultural exchange? Gap year? Interested in Buddhism?

Well, after all, it's the sort of country most 19 year old girls would choose to visit, isn't it?
I dont know - is it any different to Cambodia ? - if you see what I mean
Plenty of drugs come out of Laos.

How come she was supposed to be caught going in with drugs.

It all sounds a bit odd.
She was caught trying to leave Laos to fly to Thailand.

Absolutely no sympathy.

Stupid girl.

All drug mules get what they deserve & should not be surprised about any of it.
paraffin, you can't honestly believe that rapes by guards in these hell hole jails, doesn't go on???
be a cynic by all means, but I am afraid things like that will go on there, where women are considered pieces of meat !!!
Joy:

Believe me, I would be the first to condemn the heinous crime of rape - full stop.

However, the girl herself has allegedly stated that she has not been raped.

And as for "rapes by guards in these hell hole jails", I can only wonder where the proof and evidence has come from? It would not be cynical of me to seek definitive proof of this, would it, instead of rumour, hearsay, innuendo, and media hype? Seriously!
However, the girl herself has allegedly stated that she has not been raped.

Well, wouldn't you say that if you were still in there?
