Didn’t say that . Thy were talking more broadly . For example Saudi arabia . Where you can be lashed however many times for having booze on you .
As for the article . Basically he got caught with drugs in his suitcase . But he claims his girlfriend put them in without his knowledge but he had no way of proving this until they had a letter (I’m assuming from his gf ) proving his innocence. . But the letter was lost and now he has no way of proving his story .
Tough shit is what I say . As for his complaints about being put in a cezch prison (Which he says doesn’t seperate inmates based on their crimes ) he should be able to apeal to the courts to serve his sentence in the UK
