Drugs temptation: (JP)A lawyer says a Malaysian court has
sentenced three Indonesians to hang for drug trafficking.
Lawyer Rafidi Mohamad says a High Court in northern Kedah state
has found his clients guilty of trafficking more than 4 pounds (1.8
kilograms) of cannabis. Police found two slabs of marijuana inside a
plastic bag in a car the men were driving five years ago.
Rafidi says the men, aged 31, 33 and 42, were sentenced Sunday.
He said Monday he would appeal the sentences.
A drug trafficking conviction carries the mandatory death penalty
in Malaysia.
