男友携带毒品入境中国，本地女子阿兹琳达也被捕，并在当地法院被判处死刑判决。不过目前有两名义务律师愿意襄助，以争取在当地高等法庭重新检讨此案，阿兹琳达再现一丝生机。 阿兹琳达是在五年前被卷入毒品案，实则携带毒品的是她的男友，在抵达深圳后两人被捕。 人权律师拉维，在接受本地网络媒体《独立新加坡》采访时透露，目前有两名分别来自中国上海和香港的律师，表示愿意帮忙此案，不过有鉴于官司的敏感度，他们暂不便透露姓名身份。 拉维也指出，代表律师要造访狱中的阿兹琳达也遇到阻碍，但新加坡外交部正试图让驻中国领事馆协调所需的大量文件，以协助官司。 拉维了解到，目前阿兹琳达有两个申诉管道，一个是在广东的法院检讨此案，其二则是在中国最高法院。 早前，阿兹琳达的家人担忧她将面对死刑，拉维坦言，可以理解家属当时的焦虑，但如今焦虑的阴霾暂时排除，也希望当地律师团队能取得所需资料，在新加坡领事的协助下尽快见到阿兹琳达。 有中国律师索取天价费用 拉维在不久前接受CNN新闻台采访，也曾指出在中国聘请律师非常昂贵，有者甚至索取天价，阿兹琳达家属根本无力承担。 “我尝试与一些国际友人联络，找愿意无偿打官司的律师，但她的官司程序仍在进行，我们不知何时会到下个法院的阶段。” 但CNN报导出街后，很快就有律师愿意代表阿兹琳达出庭。 拉维曾就阿兹琳达的处境，致函询问外交部，后者也在去年12月25日答复，当局知晓此事，而新加坡驻广州领事，也对阿兹琳达与另名新加坡男子尤思礼（ Mohd Yusri），提供领事协助。 阿兹琳达和尤思礼，是在2015年10月24日，被深圳海关人员发现他们携带的28个手提袋内藏有超过11公斤、市价高达22万美元的冰毒。两人去年6月被判死刑。
