How was she wrongfully detained? The law has been the law for years lol

She was wrongfully sentenced. The amount she had on her would give her 15 days in jail. She had no intent to distribute. 9 years for a gram of hashish… come on

They were saying that before the sentencing though.

If the sentence for under 2 grams of hashish is 15 days in prison or a fine, does it make sense to detain someone for 5 months conspiring to distribute weed? I think its pretty clear here that she is a political prisoner. Would the US do the same thing? Yes most likely, but it still sucks that someone who at most should have been fined is getting sentenced to 9 years
