Laos drugs charge

Pregnant Briton may face firing squad over Laos drugs charge -
A pregnant British woman is facing trial and possibly the death penalty in Laos next week after being arrested on drug trafficking charges. The woman's MP, Harriet Harman, the leader of the House of Commons, has made representations on her behalf and the Foreign Office has been urged to intervene.

Samantha Orobator, 20, was arrested at Wattay airport, Vientiane, in August last year, in possession of 0.6kg (about one and a half pounds) of heroin. According to the human rights group, Reprieve, she has not had access to a lawyer and the British government only became aware of her detention several months after her arrest.
