A Pakistani court sentenced a Czech national to over eight years in prison, more than a year after being arrested in the eastern city of Lahore for trafficking eight and a half kilograms of heroin.
Tereza Hluskova -- a 22-year-old model -- has denied the charges and announced plans to file an appeal against the decision following the court’s decision on Wednesday.
“We will file an appeal against the decision because I am sure that she has a very strong case, and hopefully, god willing... she will be acquitted from the charge,” her lawyer Sardar Asghar Dogar told AFP Thursday. Hluskova was arrested in Lahore last January, with footage released by Pakistani customs officials showing authorities uncovering drugs hidden in her suitcase as she was trying to board a flight headed for the United Arab Emirates. Footage from the court showed Hluskova breaking down and crying as her sentence was read.
