This is a case of double standard. I guess the fear of Putin is the beginning of wisdom in Indonesia.

An Indonesian court has shown leniancy and avoided sentencing a Russian woman to death despite being caught smuggling drugs.
The woman, 26 year-old Aleksandra Magnaeva, was convicted of smuggling 2.1 kilogrammes (4.6 pounds) of crystal methamphetamine and sentenced to just 16.5 years in jail.

This comes two weeks after indonesia executed four Nigerian men over drug related offences.

Aleksandra was caught in December, she flew into Bali on a flight from Hong Kong with the drugs tashed in her bags.

“If uncaught, the defendant’s action could have endangered thousands of Indonesian youths,” judge Wayan Sukanila told the Denpasar District Court, adding the sentence was more lenient because she had shown remorse for her crimes.

In Indonesia, the maximum penalty for drug trafficking is death, Magnaeva had blamed her boyfriend and said he told her to pass the drugs to someone in Bali.

She said that she got the drugs from mainland China to Hong Kong, and claimed it was her first time smuggling drugs into Bali.

Foreigners are frequently arrested for attempting to smuggle narcotics into the resort island of Bali, and some have been handed the death sentence.

The executed Nigerians alongside two Australians and a Brazilian had begged for amnesty but were ignored by the Indonesian court.

Ezenwammadu:
Putin must have threatened to nuke them

Did you notice the lame excuse the judge gave in this case: that the accused has shown remorse about her crime.

Did those executed before her bragged about their crimes?

Not true about double standard,

a Nigerian (sorry, IGBOMAN) executed in Indonesia recently, Silvester Obiekwe Nwolise was sentenced to similar jail term when first arrested for drugs trafficking. It was only after the "ego" loving "get rich or die trying" IGBO man started running his drug syndicate business from prison that he was upgraded to death penalty.

What's her nationality?? Russia, now tell me someone is not scared..

Ta lo fe ku . Who wants to die? . The fear of putin is the beginning of common sense
