British Grandma Speaks Out After 12 Years on Death Row
Lindsay Sandiford, a 69-year-old British grandmother, has spoken out for the first time since her release from death row in Indonesia, where she spent 12 years.
Sandiford was arrested in 2012 after Indonesian police found approximately 11lb of cocaine in her suitcase, valued at around £1.6 million. Despite her claims of being coerced into the crime, she was sentenced to death and placed in Kerobokan Prison in Bali in 2013.
She had been living with the threat of a firing squad execution for over a decade.
A repatriation deal between the UK and Indonesian governments led to her release.
