HANOI (Reuters) - A death-row inmate held in solitary confinement in Vietnam for almost a year is pregnant and is seeking a pardon to give birth, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
The Lao Dong (Labour) newspaper quoted a police doctor as saying tests in September confirmed that convicted heroin trafficker Nguyen Thi Oanh, 39, was then 11 weeks pregnant.
The report said it was the first time that a death-row prisoner had become pregnant in Vietnam and that police were investigating how it had happened.
Oanh's husband was serving a jail sentence at another prison in another province, the newspaper said.
Oanh was due to face a firing squad this year after losing her appeal against the death sentence she received last year for possession of a billion dong ($63,000) worth of heroin.
Trafficking more than 600 grams of heroin in Vietnam is punishable by death or life imprisonment.
A billion dong?

How bad would it suck being stuck behind Charlie at the gas station?
3 gas fumes

1 cig
2 xcld lotto stubs
8 grains of rice

For less than what we call one cent, this dude empties both pockets, borrows from his buddy, and has to run out to the car and search under the seat and through the glove box.

That silly ass monetary system (yen) seems to be working out okay in Japan. Point being, it doesn't matter how many dongs it take to make a dollar if you got "boo Koo" dong.
