The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs tells that the Danish citizen Johanne Vinther Axelsen arrived in Denmark Thursday the 25th of March.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Danish Ministry of Justice have negotiated a deal with the Cambodian authorities, which led to the release of the Danish citizen.

Johanne Vinther Axelsen was in September sentenced 15 years in prison for having sent more than 10,000 painkillers containing codeine to the United States. She claimed in court that she did not know it was illegal to send the pills. But that did the Cambodian court disregard, when they sentenced her 15 years in prison.
