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 police found 11lb of cocaine in her suitcase, valued at around £1.6 million. Despite claiming she was coerced into the crime, she was sentenced to death and placed in Kerobokan Prison in Bali in 2013.
She claimed a local gang had threatened to kill her son, but her pleas were initially ignored. However, a repatriation deal between the UK and Indonesian governments has led to her release.
Her case has been a subject of interest for over a decade, with many questioning the circumstances surrounding her arrest and sentencing.
