Women From Freetown Reportedly Face Long Hong Kong Prison Terms Over Cocaine

I am saddened to report that several women who travelled from Freetown have reportedly been arrested at Hong Kong airport with large quantities of cocaine in their luggage. They may face prison sentences of about 15 years. The women were allegedly given the drug-filled luggage in their hotel rooms in Freetown. This cruel trade destroys the lives of vulnerable women, tears families apart, and harms those who eventually use the drugs. My reflection imagines the fate of a drug lord who is forced to relive the suffering of every woman he recruited and every person harmed by the cocaine he supplied. It is a warning that drug trafficking carries devastating consequences for victims, families and perpetrators alike.
