The ashes of Janice Linden, the South African woman who was executed in China for drug smuggling, have finally been returned to local shores. Her family was devastated to receive a plain brown cardboard box containing the remains of their daughter from Chinese authorities. The South African powers-that-be have been criticised for not doing enough to stop the execution.

Linden – who maintained her innocence throughout her trial for smuggling three kilograms of tik into China – had been on death row since 2009. Her execution took place three weeks ago, rendering futile the multiple attempts by local and international organisations to prevent the follow-through of her death penalty by the Chinese government.

Over the last month there has been a spate of other South African drug mule arrests in various countries, but China is among the nations with the most severe punishment for drug smuggling convictions – death.
