DAR ES SALAAM, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- Tanzania's Drug Control and Enforcement Authority (DCEA) said on Tuesday a Tanzanian arrested with drugs in Bali, Indonesia, should not expect any help from authority.
Rodgers Sianga, the DCEA Commissioner General, said the suspect knew that what he was doing was a criminal offence.
Indonesian authorities said on Tuesday a Tanzanian man was arrested in Bali after more than a kilogram of methamphetamine was found inside his stomach.
Immigration officials on the holiday island - who routinely detain foreigners for drug offences - said they nabbed Abdul Rahman Asman at the international airport on January 30.
An X-ray and CT scan turned up some 99 plastic baggies filled with white powder that Asman had swallowed, topping a kilo in weight, authorities said.
Dozens of the baggies were displayed on a table at the customs office Tuesday as Asman, 42, was paraded before reporters in an orange jumpsuit and restrained with hand and leg irons.
It was not clear if prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Asman but Indonesia has some of the world's strictest drug laws, including execution by firing squad for traffickers.
