Philippines Court Orders Life Sentence for Selling Two Grams of Marijuana
    #7996751 - 02/08/08 03:34 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Southeast Asia: Philippines Court Orders Life Sentence for
Selling Two Grams of Marijuana
http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/522/philippines_life_sentence_two_grams_marijuana

The Philippines has effectively imposed a moratorium on the
death penalty, but that doesn't mean drug offenders don't still
face incredibly harsh punishments there. That was certainly the
case this week, when a judge sentenced a 54-year-old man to life
in prison for selling 10 sticks of marijuana weighing just 1.79
grams
(http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/metro/view/20080205-116906/Court-sends-man-to-jail-for-selling-marijuana),
or less than one-eighth of an ounce.

Regional Trial Court Judge Gabriel Ingles Monday sentenced
Rosario Bayot Mahinay to life on Monday. Mahinay was convicted
of selling marijuana to undercover agents, a charge he denied.
He said two men approached him as he waited for his daughter and
offered him money for marijuana, which he refused because he
wasn't selling marijuana. One of the men then threw down a
plastic bag containing marijuana, and Mahinay was then arrested,
he said.

Judge Ingles, however, pronounced himself unconvinced by
Mahinay's testimony. He said Mahinay had failed to present any
evidence to show ill faith by the undercover officers who did
the buy-bust.

Mahinay's may be an extreme case, but law enforcement in the
Philippines, abetted by a mass media prone to tabloid-style
sensationalism on drug issues, continues to consider marijuana
serious business.

Death Penalty: Hash-Selling, Drunkenness Earn Ultimate Sanction, Two More Beheaded in Saudi Arabia
http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/522/death_penalty_alcohol_iran_hash_india_saudi_arabia

The resort to the death penalty for drug offenses continued
unabated this week and arguably scaled new heights as an Indian
court sentenced a man to death for selling hash and an Iranian
court handed out the same sentence to a chronic drunk.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia lopped the heads off another pair of
drug traffickers.

As reported by the death penalty abolitionist group Hands Off
Cain (http://www.handsoffcain.info), an Iranian court sentenced
a 22-year-old man to death for repeatedly violating the Islamic
Republic's ban on drinking alcohol. The man, identified only by
his first name, Mohsen, has confessed and expressed remorse, his
lawyer told the Iranian state news agency. Under Iran's Sharia
law, a person caught drinking four times can face capital
punishment, but the resort to the ultimate sanction for drinking
is reportedly rare.

Meanwhile, India made a rare appearance among the ranks of the
death-dealing countries this week when a Mumbai court meted out
a death sentence for selling 20 kilos of hashish
(http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1149591). Under
Indian law, a second drug trafficking offense can merit the
death penalty, but the sentence handed down to Gulam Malik was
the first one in the city of Mumbai.

And Saudi Arabia kept up on its bid to a be a world leader in
drug executions, with the executions in Mecca last week of two
people for drug trafficking. Pakistani citizen Ghulam Nawaz was
beheaded after being found guilty of trafficking, as was
Nigerian woman Tawa Ibrahim. Saudi Arabia follows a strict
interpretation of Islamic law that prescribes the death sentence
for murder, apostasy, rape, drug trafficking, highway robbery,
sabotage and armed robbery.

The resort to the death penalty appears to be a violation of
international law. An international campaign to end the practice
is getting underway. Read about it here
(http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/518/international_death_penalty_drugs_campaign).

Imagine that, a 22 year old drinking alcohol. Good thing they got him before he could imbibe again.
