A young British woman held in a Sri Lankan prison without charge for the last three weeks could still be months away from a bail hearing after her arrest for allegedly smuggling £1.2m worth of synthetic cannabis, or kush, in her luggage, her lawyer told The Independent.
Charlotte May Lee, 21, a former cabin attendant from south London, was arrested on 12 May at Bandaranaike airport, Colombo, after arriving on a flight from Bangkok. She remains in custody on remand for allegedly carrying 46kg of cannabis in two suitcases.
