British Woman Jailed For Smuggling Painkillers ‘Released From Egypt Prison’

Laura Plummer

A British woman jailed after she was found with painkillers in her suitcase at an Egyptian airport has been released, according to her family.

Laura Plummer, 34, from Hull, was sentenced to three years in prison on 26 December 2017 for taking 290 Tramadol tablets into the country.

Tramadol - a strong painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain - is available on prescription in the UK but is a banned substance in Egypt.

Ms Plummer said the tablets were for her partner to ease his back pain.

Her sister Rachel Plummer said the Egyptian authorities were preparing to send her home.
