British air stewardess moved from Sri Lankan prison after deadly riot that left 30 dead
Charlotte May Lee, a 22 year old British air stewardess from south London, was arrested at Colombo airport in May last year accused of smuggling 46kg of synthetic cannabis worth £1.2 million.
She says the drugs were planted in her luggage during a Bangkok holiday and she knew nothing about them.
After 18 months in detention without formal charges she was moved from an overcrowded prison following deadly riots that killed 30 people.
She now faces up to 25 years if convicted.
@theamelia__ Problem with your country is demanding tips. How about demanding employers pay fair wages for fair work? Your tourism industry is walking a tightrope and if people decide to stay away you’re all fucked.
