Briton held in Egypt over drugs made 'honest mistake'
A British woman who has been detained in Egypt for bringing nearly 300 Tramadol tablets into the country made "an innocent, honest mistake", according to her brother.
Laura Plummer, from Hull, was transporting the pills for her Egyptian partner who suffers from back pain.
It is illegal to supply prescription drugs and Ms Plummer, 33, could face up to 25 years in jail.
Her local MP Karl Turner said the Foreign Office was now involved.
He said the British Embassy has provided a lawyer - Ms Plummer's third since she was detained at Hurghada International Airport on suspicion of drug trafficking on 9 October.
Ms Plummer's family has been told she could face up to 25 years in prison, or even the death penalty.
Her brother James Plummer told BBC Radio 5 live that Ms Plummer was visiting her husband of 18 months on "just a routine holiday". She reportedly sees him between two and four times a year.
