20 year-old Samantha Orobator was arrested and sentenced to death in Laos on charges of drug trafficking. Orobator had over half a kilogram of heroin on her at the time of the arrest. having this amount of heroin results in an automatic death sentence from the Laotian government. Samantha escaped the punishment when she became pregnant in jail, probably due to rape.
