A New Zealand man alleged to have smuggled drugs into Bali is in a prison cell with 27 others, limited food and no form of bed, his Tauranga lawyer says.
Tauranga-based lawyer Craig Tuck said he had met Antony de Malmanche at the Denpasar Police station in Bali during the last two days of 2014.
He was being held in a cell with 27 other prisoners with very limited food and amenities. He is essentially locked down 24-hours a day in a cell with no mattress or pillow and has had no sleep for the last two nights due to ongoing and historical pain issues, Mr Tuck said.
De Malmanche, 52, was arrested at Bali's international airport last month.
The Wanganui beneficiary had travelled to Hong Kong to meet his internet girlfriend, "Jessie", and then went to Bali, with 1.7kg of methamphetamine in his backpack.
