[quote="Jimbo@":0073e]Too harsh. and bad move for Indonesian Government. Especially when the economy is based on Tourism, alot from Australia. The lesson is learnt, smuggling drugs is not worth it. You can buy it when you arrive at your destination anyways.[/quote:0073e]

Too Harsh? Bad move? You don't understand the situation....20 years is considered a LIGHT sentence compared to what they often give out for people in the same situation. The reason for the "lighter" than average sentence is the circumstances - There is no real evidence supporting either cause, it's still pretty much unknown whether or not she knowingly had anything to do with it....

Indonesia has been like this for ages....It's nothing new. If you're dumb enough to have anything to do with drugs while travelling to Indonesia, you'd almost deserve your sentence.
