Randy Howlet hasn't added a story.
Kwandao (know to us affectionately as Mama Dao) was wrongly imprisoned for 12 years by a Thai court in September 2017.
We are trying to raise money to appeal against what is clearly a miscarriage of justice.
Background
Mama Dao was the manager at a nightclub in Bangkok for many years.
In October of 2017, the club was raided by crime suppression division. During that raid, it was discovered that one of the girls working at the club was not 18 (the legal working age) but actually 17 years old.
Under the new laws in Thailand, this is now classed as human trafficking. Although Mama Dao was the manager of the club the girl in question had used a fake id card to obtain work showing that she was over 18 years old and legally ok to work.
Legal advice at the time was to deny all the charges at trial.
In Thailand not pleading guilty to a charge can double the
sentence, if later convicted but it was clear in this case that Dao
had no knowledge or intent to deceive anyone and in no way could be
classed as a human trafficker.
The case and sentencing expose a major weakness in the current human trafficking legislation, which we believe needs refinement. What started out as a good intention is now leading to miscarriages of justice with ridiculously harsh sentencing.
We need to raise money to fight a proper appeal on behalf of Mrs. Kwandao
In the meantime this lovely sweet lady who never hurt anyone in her life and always tried to do the right thing is now languishing in a Thai jail, believing that her life is over.
Please help us to get this lady out of Jail and back home with her husband and family where she belongs.
We also need money to support Dao with care packages while she is in Jail and while we try to fight her appeal. Any help you can give however small will be greatly appreciated.
