caught at the airport - prison ?
sorry, have to postpone my hoiday...
last sunday, about 4:30 in the morning (GMT), I got a call from my GF at Bangkok airport. She returned from Australia. On arrival, somebody was givin g her a little bag and told her, he/she will be back in one minute. As it happened, there was something illegal in the bag, she was questioned by police and put into prison. She has a lawyer, but thinks she has to stay about 2 weeks in prison.
Has anybody experience about
- how long it takes to get out, the legal process
- getting out on bail
- good lawyers for this kind of procedure
- how to take influence from Europe (email, lawyer, amnesty int ?)
- getting information, what really happened ?
I had a similar experience about 10 years ago, when I stayed in Malaysia. A swiss friend of mine, who was married to a malay at that time (marriage ended after one year), wanted to return to Zurich and bought a ticket from a German living in Philipines, who could not travel because of familiar stress. She was caught in Singapore airport and got 30 days of Changi prison. I happed to fly back two days later, heard of her story and bought her out for about 1000 SD. So she could leave prison after weekend...
