Ramirez-Alfonso

Ramirez-Alfonso, a 38-year-old Colombian migrant worker, was recently in the news after the Supreme Court of New Zealand rejected her appeal to have her cocaine conviction overturned. She was sentenced to three years and six months in prison for her role in a drug syndicate that imported cocaine into New Zealand, where she had been employed on dairy farms. Despite arguing that her involvement stemmed from naivety and exploitation, the court upheld her conviction and the associated risk of deportation.
