This is awful, I have signed the petition and all.
The whole conviction in another country thing is something that happens a lot to Australians who holiday in Asia. Because Asia is so close to Australia, many Australians travel and holiday there often. So many of them get convicted of things like drug possession and then jailed for the rest of their lifetime or sentenced to death. Many drug dealers plant drugs in travellers' suit cases, but even if you are in possession of a small amount of drugs, in Australia it wouldn't result in lifetime imprisonment or a death sentence - but in Asia it does. The Australian government is often fighting hard to have them extradited back to Australia but it rarely does. I hope everyone keeps fighting for Marte so she can be brought back to Norway.
