UK Woman Arrested in Sri Lanka for Kush Drug Trafficking

Arrest at Sri Lanka Airport

Charlotte Might Lee, 21, from the UK, was taken at Bandaranaike Flight terminal in the Sri Lankan resources of Colombo earlier this month after supposedly bring traveling bags full of “kush,” a brand-new medication coming from West Africa which eliminates an estimated loads people a week in Sierra Leone alone.

Thai Visa Delay Leads to Arrest

Lee had been working in Thailand when she was required to leave due to the fact that her 30-day visa was due to go out, so she made a decision to take a three-hour trip to Sri Lanka while she waited for the revival of her Thai visa, her attorney said.

She is implicated of “illegally buying and storing an especially huge amount of narcotics, unlawfully purchasing and saving the narcotic drug marijuana, and unlawfully importing it into Georgia,” the nation’s Ministry of Internal Affairs claimed in a statement previously this year.

Similar Case in Georgia

Bella Culley, from Region Durham, northeast England, was detained in the previous Soviet country of Georgia on Might 10 after purportedly flying to the capital, Tbilisi, by means of the United Arab Emirates with more than 30 extra pounds of marijuana and hashish in her travel luggage.

“One more traveler that had left Bangkok airport terminal, nearly at the exact same time, was apprehended in one more country. We jailed this woman [Lee] based on profiling,” a senior Sri Lanka custom-mades police officer told the BBC.
