| Subject: Rights violation: sentenced to death in China for drug 'smuggling' Fri Apr 03, 2015 12:13 am | |
| A young Australian man has been sentenced to death over an attempt to smuggle methamphetamine from China to Australia.
Queensland man Ibrahim Jalloh and another Australian citizen, Bengali Sherrif, were arrested by the Chinese authorities at Guangzhou airport in June last year, but until now their plight has remained secret.
Sherrif was sentenced to death for attempting to traffic the drug, ABC reports, which is used to make ice, but this will be commuted to life in prison if his behaviour in prison is good for two years.
Jalloh has apparently not been tried yet.
The two men are among a number of Australians arrested and held in China over drug-related crimes, but precise details about the prisoners are difficult to come by.
