PESHAWAR, Oct 3: Additional district and sessions judge Khwaja Wajeehuddin here on Tuesday convicted a woman of drug trafficking and sentenced her to 14-year imprisonment with Rs50,000 fine.

Police arrested the accused, Hussan Pari, at the Peshawar Cantonment railway station on Sept 29, 2005, and found 4kg of charas in her possession.
