Charges

According to this report, Mr. Naruee was caught in possession of 8.250 kg of heroin with another defendant and had personally imported narcotics from Germany.

The validity of the criminal charges brought against this defendant cannot be ascertained in the absence of the basic guarantees of a fair trial.

Thousands of alleged drug traffickers have been sentenced to death following judicial processes that fail to meet international standards. The exact number of people convicted based on trumped-up charges is unknown.
