My brother was sentenced to death for drug trafficking. Can an appeal overturn him?

Your brother was sentenced to death for drug trafficking. If the facts are clear, the evidence is sufficient and the law is correct, the possibility of reversing the case on appeal is very small.

Article 347 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever smuggles, sells, transports or manufactures drugs, regardless of the quantity, shall be investigated for criminal responsibility and given criminal punishment.

Whoever smuggles, sells, transports or manufactures drugs under any of the following circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 15 years, life imprisonment or death, and shall also have his property confiscated:

(1) Smuggling, trafficking, transporting or manufacturing more than one kilogram of sliced chicken, more than fifty grams of heroin and methamphetamine, or other drugs in relatively large quantities;

(2) ringleaders of drug smuggling, trafficking, transporting and manufacturing groups;

(3) Armed cover for smuggling, trafficking, transporting or manufacturing drugs;

(4) resisting inspection, detention or arrest by violence, if the circumstances are serious;

(5) Participating in organized international drug trafficking activities.
