A British woman, Lindsay Sandiford, who has been on death row in Bali since 2012 for drug smuggling, will be repatriated to the UK under an agreement between Indonesia and Britain. Sandiford was sentenced to death by firing squad after being caught with 3.8kg of cocaine at Bali’s airport. Another British prisoner, Shahab Shahabadi, serving a life sentence since 2014 for drug trafficking, will also be repatriated. The transfer is pending completion of technical and administrative steps. Indonesia has previously sent foreign prisoners back to their home countries under similar bilateral agreements. About 530 people are on death row in Indonesia, mostly for drug-related crimes, including nearly 100 foreigners.
