Journalist Hazel Friedman was on assignment in Thailand to document the stories of the increasing number of South Africans convicted as drug mules when she made a horrifying discovery. Many of the drug traffickers are in fact decoys. These individuals find themselves coerced or deceived into drugrunnung. The 'dead cows' are set up to be arrested, thereby allowing professional mules carrying much larger quantities of drugs to slip past undetected. Through the heartbreaking accounts of the prisoners, Friedman became convinced that the decoys should not be viewed as perpetrators of narcotics trafficking. Her own high-risk investigations - including an attempt to get recruited as a drug mule ( filmed with a secret camera), as well as trying to track down the middlemen - appeared to confirm this." 650 0 $a Drug couriers $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z Bangkok. $z Bangkok. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Human trafficking $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Prisoners, Foreign $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Prisoners, Foreign $z Bangkok $z Bangkok $v Biography. 650 7 $a Drug couriers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898664 650 7 $a Drug traffic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898722 650 7 $a Human trafficking. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739818 650 7 $a Prisoners, Foreign. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077319 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 651 7 $a Thailand $z Bangkok. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205495 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021012829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=71D3DF9C08B011E8A8C4D83297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
