A pregnant Briton jailed for life in Laos for heroin smuggling has arrived back in the UK.
Samantha Orobator, 20, from Peckham, south London, was caught with 1.5lb (680g) of the drug at Wattay airport in the capital, Vientiane, last August.
She escaped the death penalty because she became pregnant in jail and will now complete her sentence in the UK.
Foreign Office Minister Chris Bryant said: "We do not condone any crimes involving illegal drugs. We work around the world to combat the use of illegal drugs."However he added the transfer was "excellent news"
Excellent news for who? Certainly not the British Tax payer
