Acehnese To Hang For Trafficking

[Jim Finnel]

An *Acehnese who was sentenced to 15 years in jail and 10 strokes of the rotan after he pleaded guilty in 2005 to possessing drugs, received the mandatory death penalty from the same High Court here today.
Former lorry driver Mohd Nor Fauzi, 43, was now found guilty of trafficking in 980g of cannabis at PJS 4/27B, Taman Medan, Petaling Jaya, about 5.40pm on July 13, 2000.

Standing in the dock, he did not show any reaction.

On June 22, 2005, the court had amended the charge of trafficking under Section 39B(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 to a lesser charge of possessing the drugs at the end of the prosecution case.

Following this, Mohd Nor pleaded guilty and was sentenced to jail and whipping.
A week later, however, the prosecution took the case to the Court of Appeal and succeeded in having the High Court rulings set aside.

The Court of Appeal also ordered Mohd Nor to enter his defence to the original charge.

On Oct 9 this year, he gave evidence under oath to defend himself.

Judge Datuk Zaharah Ibrahim said Mohd Nor’s defence was a mere denial.

The accused was presumed to have possession over the cannabis and trafficked in the drugs because he had been seen carrying the brown bag containing the contraband, she said.

Mohd Nor was represented by lawyer Sreekant Pillai while Deputy Public Prosecutor Roshidah Abu Bakar conducted the prosecution.

*The Acehnese (also Achinese) a people in Aceh in Indonesia. Their language which is also called Acehnese, belongs to the Western Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family.

Their homeland is located in the northern-most tip of the island of Sumatra

Let's all thank Bill Clinton for this one. Prior to the loan that came with the drug-war string, the government of Indonesia went from being tolerant to murdering. As much as folks like to give it to Bush II for being a terrible man, and he is, Clinton was not really much better.

Sure, Bush has Guantanamo Bay, but Clinton had the Saudis and Egyptians to do his dirty work. Even though Bush has certainly killed more people, Clinton was responsible for bombs being dropped on Iraq, periodically, throughout his entire tenure. I can only hope that, for once, the US has elected a president who will reverse much of the damage done by presidents going back to Darth Vader (Reagan). I guess the only real difference between Clinton and Bush is that Clinton was much better at hiding his anti-Geneva, drug warring, murderous activities.
