Indonesia will sign an agreement on Tuesday to repatriate two British nationals, including a grandmother, who have been on death row for drug-related offences, an Indonesian government source told AFP.
“The practical arrangement will be signed today. The transfer will take place immediately once the technical details are agreed,” the source said, identifying 68-year-old Lindsay Sandiford and 35-year-old Shahab Shahabadi as the individuals being transferred.
Sandiford, a grandmother, was sentenced to death in Bali in 2013 after being convicted of drug trafficking.
Customs officers discovered cocaine worth approximately $2.14 million concealed in a false bottom of her suitcase when she arrived in Bali from Thailand in 2012.
Shahabadi was arrested in 2014 on drug charges, according to the source.
The British embassy in Jakarta referred all enquiries to the Indonesian government.
A press conference on the “release of two British nationals” was scheduled for later Tuesday by Indonesian authorities and the British ambassador, according to a statement from the coordinating Ministry of Legal, Human Rights, Immigration and Correction.
Sandiford admitted her offences but claimed she had agreed to transport the drugs after a syndicate threatened her son.
Indonesia enforces some of the world’s strictest drug laws, and dozens of foreigners remain on death row in the country for drug-related crimes.
