Meanwhile, Charlotte May Lee (21) from Coulsdon, south London, is facing 25 years locked in a hellhole Sri Lankan jail after police allegedly discovered 46kg of 'Kush' - a synthetic strain of cannabis - in her suitcase
Michaela McCollum, of the infamous Peru Two, has spoken about what she sees as similarities in both cases to her own particularly that of Culley, who has told the court in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi that she is pregnant.

Ms McCollum, from Dungannon in Co Tyrone, and Scotswoman Melissa Reid, both served just over two years in prison after they were caught with 12kg of cocaine in Lima airport in August 2013.
Reid was released from prison in June 2016 and immediately returned to Britain, while McCollum arrive back to Dublin airport in August of that year.

Referring to Culley, McCollum told MailOnline: 'Her mum had reported her missing, then it emerged that she'd been arrested.
'There were such parallels with my case – except it was just in a different country. I couldn't help but feel bad for them.
'Whatever they have done, it's so young to be caught up in something like this, and I know what they are going to go through. And their families. It's the worst thing anybody can have to face.'
'As a mum, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to give birth in that sort of place, and to potentially have the child taken from you and put into care,' she added about the case of Ms Culley.
"That adds a whole new, terrifying, dimension. It's just incredibly sad.
'I don't know the circumstances in detail here,' she added, 'but I do know that of all the women I came across who had been involved in drug smuggling, only about 10% were doing it as a business, who knew the risks and accepted them,' she said.
'The vast majority were the victims of some sort of coercion, usually by men. Prisons all over the world are full of women who have been caught up in something like this. And the men at the top rarely get caught.
'The men who pulled all the strings in my case were never held to account.'
