Japanese gets death penalty in China for drug smuggling
TOKYO — A 61-year-old Japanese man was sentenced to death in China earlier this month at a district court in Shenyang on charges of trying to smuggle 1.25 kilograms of stimulant drugs from China to Japan, sources close to the case said Saturday.

The defendant has appealed to a higher court and the hearing will take place within two months. If the court decides to uphold the ruling, the execution would take place relatively soon, a Japanese embassy official said, adding the man would be the first Japanese to be executed abroad for a criminal offense.
