South African woman's life sentence in Thailand for crime she says she didn't commit is reduced

A woman from South Africa was sentenced to life in prison in Thailand for her role in a drug ring.

On October 8, 2020, she was arrested for drug dealing after she accepted a package of ecstasy from a delivery man at the restaurant.

The contents of the package were known to the Thai authorities. There was over 260 grams of MDMA in it. The package was given the go-ahead to make the arrest.

She claimed that she was unaware of what was in the package. She was dating an American man at the time of the event.

A Hong Kong teen has been arrested for possession of millions of dollars of cocaine.

According to reports, the drug operation was claimed by Nettles. He said he was a drug dealer on the dark web.

He worked as a teacher in the area. Drugs were shipped into the school for a long time. She was laid off from her job as a teacher and was offered a job as a restaurant manager.

The website that fights for the release of the man claims that he used the restaurant to import drugs after his packages were discovered at the school he used to work at. According to the website, he had been shipping drugs to the restaurant since September 2020 and asked Dave Rensburg to pick up the packages.

An elderly Filipino woman was attacked on a trolley.

The man who was arrested for the package was not prosecuted even though he fled Thailand before his arrest.

After being sentenced to death, he was sentenced to life in prison. The lack of a treaty between Thailand and South Africa made it difficult for her family to get her extradited.

The court reduced her sentence to 33.4 years.

Lynn said that they misinterpreted the meaning of life sentence. We thought he would only be sentenced to 25 years, but he got a full life sentence. Her sentence was reduced after she successfully appealed. There is 30 days to appeal.

The family of Oosthuizen continues to believe in her innocence and post updates on the website and Facebook page.

Her parents say that she has learned how to speak, write and read. She plays the lead role in a prison performance and teaches cha-cha dance to her fellow inmates.

The congressman's name got changed during the hearing.

From the nature of the case, we were hoping that she would be released. We are confident that our heavenly Father has everything under control. "Oosthuizen's mom said that." He is praised for every little miracle. Our trust in Him is still there, and we know that he has good plans forAshley. We know we serve a God who loves us and will never abandon us. His plans are much larger than we realize.
