Galit Baruch hasn't added a story.
My boyfriend is going to stay in Thailand jail 9 years for a crime he didn't commit!
My name is Galit, I'm Israeli, living in Thailand, with my German boyfriend - my fiance… AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO US:
Six months ago, my fiance got a call from a Friend while he was at home, asked him to come for 5 minutes.
This day, he left the door. And never came back.
Police were already there - with this friend - jumping on my boyfriend, pulling him down from his bike, on the floor - and started looking for drugs.
Apparently, his friend got caught one day before for a drug deal he made, but since he has a Thai girl friend, she made a deal with the police. If he set up someone else - my boyfriend - to do the time for him, he will get the minimum punishment, 2 years, instead of 9 - which is what my boyfriend is about to get if we don't help him.
When my boyfriend got to this place that day, the police jumped on him AND FOUND NOTHING ON HIS BODY. HE WAS CLEAN. After the game of looking, they started to look in the jungle. There they found the drugs, which his friend put there before. As nobody else was there in that place to be a witness, at this moment 3 policemen testified that all drugs were found in his hands. As the papers were in Thai, and my boyfriend is German, they forced him to sign… and his life was basically finished this moment.
Since this moment my life became a nightmare as well.
Because all I did was try to get him out of there, and try to help him to survive. He stays in Samui jail in Thailand, and he is looking at 9 years inside.
Just before he was about to accept guilt - because the risk to fight is too big (if he fights and loses, punishment is more severe) - the guy who set him up and who is doing time with him in the same cell (minimum 2 years instead of 9), came to my boyfriend saying he is ashamed, and wants to take the blame. He already wrote a big letter about this whole story. As he wanted to become a witness in this case, I went personally to see him and what he said is this:
"I am really sorry. I am ashamed, I'm the one who put him there, and I will do what ever it takes to get him out."
With his letter and confession we went to the judge, and it helped, they are giving us a chance to fight.
For the first time they agreed to bail him while this time we fight.
If we lose, he will get 9 years still, this they will not cut.
But we have a real chance to fight… the only thing left to find is money, of course, we must bail him first and pay a lot of money for the fight.
Who ever reads this, I can't bail him without your help.
All my money went already with unending attempts to bail him, and after 6 months, they finally said yes, and thanks for our guy, who confess in the last moment.
Any amount will be blessed, gratefully thanked, appreciated. Any amount, I really need it, guys…
I thank you all even if you chose not to give money, just for reading my story, and getting to the end.
Bail fee is:
5 million baht . which is :
592,132 SHEKELS ,
152,139. USD
122,317 EUR
No one should do the time for someone else's crime...
The best way is if a lot of people can give a little each.
If 30,000 people will give between 5-10 $ each… I know we can help him.
My story can happen to each one of us.
I can only hope that if you can give you will, and not just move to the next post… only if you can, of course.
I promise to give back any amount to anyone who would wish that.
I would just need some time.. :)
Thank you all
With love
Galit
