Malaysia: Two Thai men sentenced to hang for drug trafficking in Malaysia

Monsters and Critics

Friday 01 Jul 2011

Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian court has sentenced two Thai nationals to death by hanging for smuggling more than 20 kilograms of cannabis into the country, a news report said Friday.

Iproheng Yeetuwa, 37 and Mueseh Mahsae, 44, were caught in the northern Kedah state in 2009 with 21.6 kilogrammes of cannabis.

Both men claimed they were not aware of the drugs found in their tourist van, but the High Court judge ruled the defence was unsubstantiated, the New Straits Times reported.

Malaysia's tough drug laws prescribe the mandatory death sentence for significant quantities of most types of drugs.
