This is a quandary I must admit as I found the following sob story quite hilarious so just perhaps these drug mule types aren’t cunts?
Or just unintentionally amusing soon to be deceased cunts? …
“There was desperation in the voice of the young Ethiopian man when he managed to get through to the BBC from a phone in his prison cell on death row in Saudi Arabia.
Habtom, whose name – like the other prisoner featured in this article – has been changed to protect his identity, has been held in a jail in the southern city of Khamis Mushait for more than three years.”
“I did not know what we were carrying. But later I was told it was khat. I don’t even know what khat is,” Habtom said, admitting that he was tempted into the work by the sum of money on offer.”
“We were four Ethiopians, and there was one Yemeni with us. He told us he could help us cross the border safely because he knew the safest route. In return, he asked us to carry packages containing khat and even promised to pay us some money.
“Unfortunately, shortly after we crossed, we were captured by police officers. They opened fire on us, and the Yemeni man ran away, but we couldn’t. We were shocked and had no idea where to go.”
“When you appear before the judge on the first day, he asks: ‘Do you accept the charges?’ On the second appearance, he sentences you to death,”
Oh dear,it appears the Saudi don’t like African drug dealers but do like killing them.
There is a glimmer of hope however,the Ethiopian foreign ministry has stepped in,a statement was issued on 13 July saying it was in regular contact with the Saudi authorities “pursuing appropriate remedies for Ethiopian citizens facing difficult circumstances”.
That should sort it.
Nominated by Unkle Terry.
Come on, rAndy, call up your Inner Rodney and convene a Cobra meeting followed by a strongly worded statement.
It there’s one thing the Saudi authorities fear more than anything it’s a strongly worded statement from a nobody.

The Yemeni man ran away,but we couldn’t.. i thought Ethiopians were marvellous distant runners.
Still its lucky Rodney is in the dustbin, that fat quare would be doing his upmost to bring them here.
And the best saggy tit’s sue perkins can do is send a bus..

Not a bus, Barry. A bus pass!

I don’t know what they’re worrying about.
They’ll have a nice cosy flat in Rotherham by Christmas once saviour Andy has stepped in.
Just so long as they read and accept the terms and conditions of the new leaflet.

By the way, why was he ringing the BBC?
Did he somehow think they can wave a magic wand or something?
Did anyone tell him that, at best, there’d be a protest organised by some students and senile Home Counties pensioners if he’s lucky.
Don’t worry, the BBC will have an OB crew there.

They’ve got the choice of any fake names in the entire world and they choose “Habtom”.
What’s wrong with “Frank” or “Phil”?
Just goes to show the underlying mindset of the BBC journo and the sleight of hand with which they try and normalise all things spook as if we’re on their level; they’d sooner have us all called “Umgoogo” or “Mohammed Bin Saddam”.

It says it all that they’ve used cartoons to illustrate an so-called news article. That’s just about perfect for modern Britain, maybe the BB-fucking-C will start assigning clowns names to each of its journalists’. Cunts.
5
The article talks about due process not being followed.
It mentions it many times.
Bollocks!
They are following some sort of due process, just one that is different from the one that the BBC recognises.
They wouldn’t be holding prisoners for 3 years or more on death row, feeding and clothing them.
They would simply put them to death the day after the verdict was given.
The entire story is nonsense.
Either way, Ethiopians are a waste of space and killing the cunts is a excellent solution.
Good morning.

This is a truly horrible story …that will have me stepping out to work with a smile on my face & a real spring in my step.
The Saudis are fucking ragheads, but at least they aren’t afraid of showing two fingers to the world & topping as much East African filth as they want to. For my money, we could deport as much of the ethnic street filth as possible to Saudis Arabia & let em string the cunts up.
Maybe that Scouse cunt should give it some thought, it’d free up some beds for the rough sleepers.

Ethiopian drug mules?
what are they smuggling?
half a aspirin each?
Bob Geldofs behind it.
he holds the purse strings for the starving Marvins dinner money.
forced em to do it .
threatened they won’t get any pudding.
how can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?
6
If anything, it’s probably ‘Sir’ Bogtrotter Geldof who’s the key lynchpin drug baron of the region.
How else could you explain him earning his multi million pound fortune, whilst devoting most of his adult life to ‘non profit’ charity work.
5
I thought he spent most of his adult life not washing and watching the women in his life die of drug overdoses.

I wonder if the Sparkles will be acting as drug mules when they come to Blighty. I expect they need the dosh.
Or maybe Megain has been appointed to the vacant position at Cambridge University. She’s got the right melanoidal qualification.

Aye, Geordie, & hopefully with an ‘Arday Exit’ at the end.

Though it pains me to admit it,I do admire the Oil Wóg approach to law and order.
Drug smuggler?
Illegal immigrant?
First off the Saudi border patrol will try to kill them as fast as possible with automatic weapons,after that any survivors get hauled in front of a hanging judge and are given an appropriate sentence.
They don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks about it.
Most refreshing.
Would make for excellent television.
Good morning.

“He and some of his fellow inmates had fled war and poverty at home in the hope of finding a better life.”
As are all the tribes of skinnies who have pitched up on our Kentish shoreline.
I hope the Saudis remove the skinnies’ heads – their buck teeth would make handy bottle openers.
Sorry but I really couldn’t give a sparrow’s fart about their (self inflicted) plight.
Now fuck off.

As Artful Cunter mentions above.
Why do we assume that, because another country’s justice system differs from ours, that it is wrong?
They aren’t on death row because the executioner is on sick leave, it’s because they are waiting for, perhaps the Ethiopian government, to offer some alternative solution.
It’s as near a decent deterrent and warning to others not to take the piss as you’ll find anywhere, without causing an international outcry.
If I were the Saudi authorities, I’d ask the BBC what they suggest would be a suitable deterrent?
Their answer would probably be a 2 year suspended sentence and the offer of a British passport.
