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. (Kyodo News)
