A British woman was sentenced to death by and Indonesian court after she was caught smuggling drugs into the island of Bali. The woman says she was forced to smuggle these drugs by a gang who had threatened her. Though Britain is opposed to the death sentence in all cases, Indonesia is known for its harsh punishment to drug related cases.
This article doesn't really give enough information. It seems important to know if the woman actually was threatened, but it doesn't say. This article also shows the varying opinions between countries about the death penalty.
