Xena the Warrior or just Zenophobia?

I can't resist writing about Schapelle. The whole media beat up is now out of control and now the Sydney Morning Herald has reminded me of the story about Japanese tourist that was jailed in Melbourne on very similar grounds to Schapelle. Drugs were found in Chika Honda's bag when she arrived in Australia and she was sentenced to over 10 years despite protesting her innocence.

Like Schapelle she suffered from imperfect translation services and cultural misunderstandings. The Japanese media apparently were very upset about this.

Just goes to show that the Indonesians aren't the only ones that can be accused of miscarriage of justice...
