I was paying attention to the judge and it was pretty short. He seemed to be satisfied with the medica coverage. That's pretty cool.

upated news ( british woman)


The pregnant British woman jailed for life in Laos for smuggling drugs has told the authorities that the man who saved her from the death sentence by fathering her baby is a fellow British prisoner, John Watson.

Diplomatic efforts are under way to fast-track the return of Watson, 47, who is also serving a life sentence for drug smuggling, and Samantha Orobator, 20, to serve out their sentences in UK jails.

Orobator pleaded guilty on Wednesday in the Laotian capital, Vientiane, to trying to smuggle heroin out of the country, but her death sentence was commuted because she is pregnant.

Watson's mother, Pat, has said that he is "ecstatic" at becoming a father again - he has two children by an ex-fiancee in the UK - but that he is denying to the prison authorities that he is the father of Orobator's child.

His mobile phone has been confiscated by officials at the squalid Phonthong prison in Vientiane, where the pair are being held, and he could face further sanctions from the authorities if he was proven to have helped Orobator.

Orobator, from London, has been held in Phonthong since she was arrested at Wattay international airport on 5 August last year. She conceived in late December and said the father was a Buddhist monk, before claiming that she had inseminated herself using Watson's sperm. A syringe was found among her belongings.

Speaking from her home in Halifax, West Yorkshire, Mrs Watson said her son and Orobator were "close" and in a relationship. "John emailed me a few months ago and said, 'How would you feel about being a grandma again?'

"At first I thought he was joking, but then he rang me and he sounded ecstatic. He told me he'd met a girl and she was having his baby.

"John has been looking after Samantha and they've spent a lot of time together. They've become really close. Men and women are in separate cells, but they are mixed in the yard and the other parts of the prison, so they've managed to forge a relationship.

"It was the happiest I'd heard him sound for years - I think he thought they could be a family."

Building plans of the jail show that in one blockhouse there are male and female cells next to each other.

Although the UK and Laos signed a prisoner transfer agreement last month, it does not come into force for months, so Orobator faces having her first baby in the jail. However, she was being visited by a doctor this weekend and her supporters hope she will be certified fit to fly sooner. She is said to be worried that the prison diet will harm her baby and was described by her mother, Jane, as "very fragile".

Caroline Morten, of human rights group Reprieve, said: "She's just into her third trimester now and needs to be given a doctor's approval to fly, but we are hoping to get her back in a week. At the moment we don't want to talk too much about what's going on, but we are optimistic."

Watson was arrested in 2003 and given a life sentence in 2006. His health has deteriorated in jail and he is said to suffer from depression. He has been denied visits from anyone except officials from the Australian embassy, who are able to meet him once a month, and he is able to send occasional emails home. The UK has no consulate in Laos.

"I know it sounds like an old cliche," Watson said last year to the Foreign Prisoner Support Service, an online campaigning group based in Australia, "but honestly, being in here, I do truly believe now that you don't know what you've got till it's gone."

Last year he was "utterly distraught" when another British prisoner whom he had befriended fell ill and died. Michael Newman, a 43-year-old businessman, had been refused medical attention and was found dead in his cell. In 2001 a French man also died at Phonthong of an untreated medical condition.

A spokesman from the Foreign Office said: "We are working on the goodwill of the Laotian government to repatriate Ms Orobator as soon as possible and Mr Watson would of course benefit from that too in making an application."

I wish she will enjoy the rest of her life in Lao jail. You know what I mean right? But so pity about her son which don't know anything but must to stay in jail with her and grow up in jail with her. But I wonder her child will look like what after she give birth. A child that she don't want to have. Will she treat her child which mixed of Black+Asian(Laotiane prisoner). If her child look like Tiger Wood(Black+Thai) which similar too

She looks happy infront of the camera
