I know they said they were under some sort of Duress, was this looked into or any attempt made to substantiate their claims...?

Seems about right to me, the sentence is enough to deter others and to punish the Mules for drug running..

They can consider themselves lucky they didn't try it in a country with harsher penalties. If they want to risk it all to end up in some shithole prison or worse because of greed I don't have much sympathy for them really.

I have mixed feelings
On one hand it's a harsh sentance as said they are naive
On the other they knew what they where doing and the punishments

They should know what they where getting into but obviously they didn't or decided it was worth taking the risk
Either way naive to think they wouldn't get caught

Ignorance/naivety about laws is no excuse. There's no excuse when it comes to drug laws, everyone knows the score.Lucky to get away with 6 years.

Unless you have naïve children on the receiving end of these substances. Not harsh enough in my opinion.
