I wonder if that's her attemptat escaping punishment/death.

[Cynical Ninja]

Stupid bitch, has she never seen the filmMidnight Express?

[Freak magnet]

I don't think being pregnant should have anything to do with it.
She made the decision to carry the drugs now she has to take responsibility for her actions

[sally]

I wouldn't even dare to jaywalk in another country much less try to smuggle heroin. I think you can get the death penalty in Malaysia just for smoking a joint.

[Freak magnet]

Shes a stupid bitch .
If you can't do the time don't do the crime .

[Freak magnet]

Ive only just noticed it said she got pregnant in prison .

[Cynical Ninja]

In the phillipines they give you ten strokes with the birch if they catch you littering.

[Duchess]

People have known for years the dire consequences of running drugs in other countries...I don't have any sympathy for that shit for brains bitch.

[Luke Warmwater]

"Orobator" ?

Did she earn this name on the streetfrom being the queen of blow jobs?







PS Milli, withouta job you might as well pull out the dentures and get to work like this bitch. Bet you wish you hadn't fucked off in the "college" you claim you attended, huh?

[Freak magnet]

Its all over the fucking news here.
I'm sick of this shit already .


Give me a fucking break... how many kids would have died because of the heroin that dumb cunt smuggled in .

[ramseycat]

Shoot her AFTER she gives birth.

I am surprised they still have firing squads.

[Liquid]

(CNN) [/b]-- A British woman facing possible execution in Laos will escape the death sentence because she is pregnant, a spokesman for the Laotian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.





Samantha Orobator became pregnant in prison, according to a spokeswoman for rights group Reprieve.


The country's criminal law prohibits courts from sentencing pregnant women to death, spokesman Khenthong Nuanthasing told CNN. The woman's trial hasn't been scheduled yet, he said, but is likely to happen next week.

Samantha Orobator, 20, was facing death by firing squad for drug trafficking, said Clare Algar, the executive director of Reprieve, a London-based human rights group.

She was arrested August 5, Khenthong has said.

Orobator was alleged to have been carrying just over half a kilogram (about 1lb) of heroin, Reprieve lawyer Anna Morris told CNN by phone from Vientiane, the Laotian capital. Those found guilty of carrying that amount normally face the death penalty, she said.

Reprieve has said Orobator became pregnant in prison, possibly as a result of rape, and that she is due to give birth in September. That would mean Orobator became pregnant in January.

Khenthong agreed that Orobator is five months pregnant.

But he indicated that Orobator might have already been pregnant when she was arrested, and that she lost the first baby while in prison.

He said Orobator declared on the day of her arrest in August that she was two months pregnant by her boyfriend. After she had already been in jail for some time, he said, Orobator asked for medication to cure a vaginal infection, and he believes it caused her to lose the child.

Nuanthasing said officials are investigating Orobator's pregnancy.

Orobator's mother said she found out about her daughter's pregnancy in January. Jane Orobator told CNN she heard the news from the British Foreign Office, which has been monitoring the case.

There is no British Embassy in Laos; a British vice-consul arrived in the country over the weekend, the British Foreign Office said.

Jane Orobator said she cannot believe her daughter was involved in drug trafficking, and she was surprised to learn she was in Laos.

"I don't know" what she was doing there, she said from her home in Dublin, Ireland. "The last time she spoke with me, she said she was on holiday in London and she would come to see us in Dublin before returning to the UK in July.

"She is not the type of person who would be involved in drugs," she added.

Reprieve is worried about her health, especially given her pregnancy, Anna Morris said.

"She became pregnant in prison. We are concerned that it may not have been consensual and we are concerned that someone who finds herself in prison at 20 is subject to exploitation," she said.

Reprieve sent Morris from London to Laos to try to help Orobator, Algar said.

The lawyer arrived there on Sunday and is hoping to visit Orobator on Tuesday, her boss at Reprieve said. A British consul has also arrived in the country.

"I am the first British lawyer who has asked for access to her," Morris said. "She needs to have a local lawyer appointed to her. We are pressing very hard for the local authorities to appoint one."

She said it was normal in the Laotian justice system for a defendant to get a lawyer only days before a trial.

The last execution in Laos was in 1990, the foreign affairs spokesman said.

Samantha Orobator was born in Nigeria and moved to London with her family when she was 8, her mother said

Pregnant U.K. Woman Gets Life in Prison in Heroin Trafficking Case

Samantha Orobator

A pregnant British woman found guilty in Laos of trafficking heroin has avoided a firing squad but was sentenced to life in prison.[/b]

Samantha Orobator was caught with 1.5lbs of heroin at Vientiane airport on her way to Australia.

The 20-year-old admitted the charge before being sentenced, according to Chanthaly Duangvilai, vice president of the Vientiane Court.

Heroin trafficking is punishable by death, but Orobator was spared because Lao law does not allow the execution of pregnant women.

Under a recent pact ⿿ which still needs ratification ⿿ Orobator could be extradited to serve her sentence in Britain rather than more time in Laos' notorious Phonthong prison.

But Lao officials could still veto her return.

Orobator's case attracted particular attention because she became pregnant while incarcerated.

Lao officials have asserted that she may have artificially inseminated herself while behind bars.

The Vientiane Times newspaper quoted unnamed police as saying Orobator become pregnant with the "help" of another prisoner to "avoid the death penalty."

The Briton was arrested last August but her case did not draw international attention until her condition became public in early May, amid fears she could be executed by firing squad.

According to Lao officials, Orobator initially told authorities she was pregnant by her boyfriend in England. But tests after she was seized showed no signs of pregnancy.

It was not until March 2 that a hospital test confirmed she was with child, police said. That meant she must have gotten pregnant while in prison, they said.

In late May, Orobator's mother Jane said her daughter was not sexually assaulted in jail and the father of her unborn child was not a Lao prison official.

She may have inseminated herself ::rotfl::.

This annoys the hell out of me .
Firstly she was found with the drugs on her person (so shes bang-to-rights) then she got her self up the duff to avoid the DP and now the UK are prepared to fund her defence then bring her back and feed and water the bitch for the whole of her sentence....send her back to her place of birth and let them reclaim her and pay her fucking bills ::angrier::.




I'm sorry if this sounds racist but we have enough home grown pond life scum.

[Cynical Ninja]

I don't see how suddenly being pregnant makes her any less guilty.

[LuMPyPussy]

They have turkey basters in prison? Freaky.

[SyberBitch]

The stupid bitch shouldn't be ALLOWED to procreate, by virtue of the fact that she was so dumb she first tried to traffic drugs in another country THEN let herself get pregnant while in prison facing a death sentence!! Ugh.
