The Sun ^ | 11/5/17 | Tom Michael and Patrick Knox

Laura Plummer, 33, was arrested on drug charges after being caught carrying painkillers for her Egyptian husband.

“The painkillers were placed at the top of her suitcase, she wasn’t hiding them.

“We’ve been told she’s facing either 25 years in prison or the death penalty. We’re beside ourselves worrying that they’ll make an example of her.”

She was kept for five hours at the airport without an interpreter before signing a 38-page statement in Arabic which she thought would see her leave.

[Plummer flew to Hurghada airport Oct. 9 for a stay with husband Omar, 33. They met four years ago and she jets out to see him four times a year.]

Silly girl married a muslim guy, and he’s using her a drug mule. They don’t even live together and she travels to Egypt to visit her hubby. Sounds like a wonderful marriage.

Also, sisters look like they have been pumped full of botox which has probably clogged up their brains.

Does anyone have sister Jayne’s number?

I can’t help the one in Egypt, but would like to contact Jayne, you know, for counseling and to lend a sympathetic ear.

Sums up the situation pretty well, I suspect.

It's beyond me why anyone would want to travel outside the USA. Ain't nothing worth the risk.

Europe is certainly a no-go. Africa, no way. Asia? Maybe Japan. Mexico and points south? You've got to be kidding. Canada? Land of ice, socialism, and turd world flotsam. Australia? Bugs, snakes, and Muslims. Heck, even in the USA I refuse to visit the dusky zones.

I searched under “brit” and found nothing. Sorry if it’s a dupe.

Gee! If Teresa May hadn’t disrespected President Trump, she could have ask him to speak with his friend General Assisi. Tough break for her countryman.

That’s what jumps out. She’s married to him but travels to see him 4 times a year. The obvious thing the authorities want to know is if she brings illegal drugs with her each time she visits. And they’ll want to know if he has other wives who visit him 4 times a year. All that being said, they should declare her persona non grata and kick her out.

Laura was taking the Tramadol, which is prescription-only in the UK, to her husband who suffers back pain after an accident


I really do feel sorry for the young lady, but how do people get so stupid? Do they go to liberal arts schools? It cannot be a natural state.

Liberal Professors say that “All cultures are equal and fair and just, blah blah blah” so then rubes like this lady dismiss the common sense knowledge that the place they are going to is a hell hole and they are going to have to deal with petty bureaucrats and whatnot...

Because if she had to face the truth before hand she would be forced to come to the conclusion that all her professors have LIED TO HER!

This is just so sad. Is there no common sense; no decency at all in Egypt? Anyone can see this was an honest mistake; not the work of some drug mule or dealer. This is unjust at every level. She should be released immediately and never go back to that country.

Something really odd about this marriage too. Two weeks four times a year?

Perhaps if she had seen Midnight express she may have had second thoughts- then again maybe not

Didn’t she ever see “Not Without My Daughter”? Different Muslim dump, but same concept. Westerners are fools for marrying Muslims - and worse fools for traveling to their homelands.

If it was her prescription, fine. If it was his prescription, fine. If it was loose, you got big trouble.
