Auj-e Taqaddas, the British woman who notoriously slapped an immigration official at Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport after being asked to pay a hefty overstay fine last July had to be forcibly escorted to court to attend today’s verdict hearing. Her aggressive behavior led prosecutors to handcuff her, provoking yet another characteristic outburst of shouting, name-calling, and even kicking.

Taqaddas was picked up while hanging out in front of Lippo Mall Kuta and raw footage posted on YouTube by local media outlet Tribun Bali captures the whole ugly incident.


According to a report by detiknews, officials had been monitoring Taqaddas since Saturday, presumably on the suspicion that she would try and cancel her appointment by claiming sickness yet again.


“The defendant has defaulted on attending trial three times. So we had the [legal] right to use force to bring the defendant to court,” said Waher Tarihoran, the section head of Badung Prosecutor’s Office.

Taqaddas’ day didn’t get any better as the panel of judges sentenced her to six months prison time for slapping the immigration officer.

“The defendant, Auj-e Taqaddas, was legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act against the official who was on duty. She has been sentenced to six months in prison,” said the head judge on the panel, Esthar Oktavi.

60 YEARS would have been more humanitarian, (for the rest of us), IMHO.
Still, she is supposedly some big time cancer researcher. Makes me wonder if she's got brain cancer?
