British teenager tells Georgia court she was tortured into smuggling drugs
British teenager Bella Culley, held in Georgia for drug smuggling, alleges she was "tortured" into the crime and pleads not guilty in court. Culley, 19, was found with 12kg of marijuana and 2kg of hashish, arrested at Tbilisi International Airport after going missing in Thailand. Despite her plea, the court refused bail, remanding her in custody until the next hearing on July 10, while her family seeks her release.
