British woman arrested for drug trafficking in Egypt<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

British woman arrested for drug trafficking in Egypt:- A British woman has been arrested in Egypt and accused of drug trafficking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laura Plummer, from Hull, was arrested after flying into Cairo with nearly 300 tramadol tablets and some Naproxen in her suitcase, the Sun reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her family told the paper she brought the painkillers for her Egyptian husband, who she visits two to four times a year and who has a bad back.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Foreign Office said it was supporting a British woman and her family after her detention in Egypt.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Good deed’<\/span><\/p>\n

Family members told the Sun that Miss Plummer, 33, signed a 38-page statement in Arabic thinking it would lead to her release, but instead she has been kept in a cell with 25 other women for nearly a month.<\/span><\/p>\n

They also say they have been told she could face up to 25 years in prison, or even the death penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miss Plummer’s brother, James, 31, told the Press Association his sister thought she was doing a “good deed” by bringing the medication over to her husband.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Plummer said his mother and sisters had travelled to Egypt to visit Miss Plummer following her arrest on 9 October, adding: “They say she’s unrecognisable.<\/span><\/p>\n

When they seen her, she’s like a zombie, they said.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Plummer said the family feel “helpless” due to being in a different country.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said his sister’s hair was starting to fall out due to stress. “I don’t think she’s tough enough to survive it,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“She has a phobia of using anybody else’s toilet, so let alone sharing a toilet and a floor with everybody else.<\/span><\/p>\n
