A lawyer says a Malaysian court has sentenced three Indonesians to hang for drug trafficking. Lawyer Rafidi Mohamad says a High Court in northern Kedah state has found his clients guilty of trafficking more than 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms) of cannabis.

Police found two slabs of marijuana inside a plastic bag in a car the men were driving five years ago. Rafidi says the men, aged 31, 33 and 42, were sentenced Sunday. He said Monday he would appeal the sentences.A drug trafficking conviction carries the mandatory death penalty in Malaysia.
