A British woman accused of smuggling drugs into Egypt has been jailed for three years, her family has said. According to a Facebook group set up by her family, she appeared in court in Egypt on St Stephen’s Day and was jailed for three years. The Plummer family has previously said Ms Plummer had no idea that what she doing was illegal and was just "daft". "I am hopeful that good sense will eventually prevail," he told BBC Radio 4’s The World At One. "This is a damning indictment actually of the Egyptian authorities in the sense that good sense and fairness certainly hasn’t prevailed in this case.
