Malaysia sentences Indonesian to death
for drug trafficking: Report


KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): A Malaysian court has sentenced an Indonesian man to death by hanging for trafficking cannabis, local media said Saturday.

Mardani Hussin, 29, a laborer from Aceh province, Indonesia, had entered Malaysia without a valid permit in April 2002 and committed the offense six months later, the national Bernama news agency said.

"Many of your fellow countrymen came here to earn a proper living," High Court judge Abdull Hamid Embong was quoted as telling him. "I am sure they are ashamed of your act."

Mardani was charged with trafficking 927 grams (32.5 ounces) of cannabis in the capital on October 22, 2002. He was riding on a motorcycle when he was stopped by police who searched him and seized a parcel with the drug.

Drug-trafficking in Malaysia carries a mandatory death penalty, and the country has executed 229 people for the offense in the past 30 years. (**)

This drug war against a plant that has NEVER killed anyone is truly a genocide against it's users!

The Indonesian government should be chastised for their actions against humanity.

Unfortunately, Malaysia isn't the only country who executes, tortures, mutilates and incarcerates marijuana traffickers and users...ALL of this for a non-toxic beneficial medicinal plant!

Sure other countries do not tolerate our herb.

We must pray that THEIR way of dealing with members of our culture does not become the way of life anywhere else on this planet...the truth will set us free...

...no matter what THEY do, THEY will not win, the people are fighting back in the courts and some have won. The victories are not over
