Laura Plummer, a 33-year-old shop worker from Hull was arrested in October after she was found with 290 Tramadol tablets painkiller tablets in her suitcase.

But her family have described her as being naive and said that she only took the tablets to the country to give to her Egyptian partner Omar Taboo who has back pain.

The painkiller is legal in Britain but banned in Egypt.

A judge sentenced her to three years in prison and ordered her to pay a fine of 100,000 Egyptian pounds (£4,205).

Her mother Roberta Sinclair travelled to Egypt for the Christmas Day hearing.
