Offences Committed Overseas

Tweet

I believe this is a global issue where travelers have a knack of committing misdemeanors when they are visiting other countries. I don't know about how you feel but I support the punishing these offenders when they return to their countries. In China, the authorities are blacklisting offenders when they return to China if they are found guilty of putting our country in disrepute like an incident which involved an accompanied 15 year old child defacing a 3500 years old artifact in Egypt which really caused an uproar. In the UK, I read how a pedophile was actually charged with 22 life sentences for 71 child abuse cases in UK. I don't know if he was arrested and punished while he was committing the crimes overseas or not. I think this is a good way of keeping the travelers in tact and not cause trouble or commit a crime while they are overseas. If it is the latter, then expect to be punished again when they return back to their country. Do you think this system is over-excessive?
