While the cannabis industry becomes legal in the US,
in South East Asia it is still taken very seriously:
The West Jakarta District Court handed down the death penalty on
Tuesday to Rizky Albar, 29, and Rocky Siahaan, 37, for their roles in
smuggling 1.3 tons of cannabis to Jakarta from Aceh in December last
year.
The verdicts were read in two separate hearings.
"There are no mitigating factors. The defendant is sentenced to
death," presiding judge Agus Setiawan said as he read Rizky's verdict, kompas.com reported.
The panel of judges found him guilty of being the right hand of an
infamous drug dealer named Iwan — who currently remains at large — in
the drug's smuggling scheme.
