China executes Filipina drug mule | Inquirer Global Nation
The Filipina sentenced to death for drug trafficking in China has been executed, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed Wednesday.
The death sentence was carried out despite an appeal from Philippine president Benigno Aquino III to have her sentence commuted to life imprisonment.
She, along with her cousin, was arrested at the Hangzhou international airport in January 2011 for trying to bring into the country six kilograms of heroin. Her cousin was likewise sentenced to death but was given a two-year reprieve for good behavior.
Hernandez stated previously that Chinese authorities have evidence which indicate the Filipina had smuggled illegal drugs at least 18 times into the country.
tsk tsk... may she rest in peace.
dapat sa Pinas ineexecute din yung mga taga-China na nahulihan ng drugs.
