A British grandmother, Lindsay Sandiford, is set to be repatriated to the UK after spending over a decade on death row for drug trafficking charges in Indonesia. Sandiford, 69, was sentenced to death in 2013 and had lost her appeal against the sentence. The transfer comes as part of an agreement between Indonesian authorities and British officials, with both prisoners expected to be handed over within two weeks. Sandiford is suffering from severe health problems, including mental health issues, while Shahab Shahabadi, a 35-year-old man serving a life sentence for drug offenses, is also dealing with various serious illnesses. The reprieve follows a trend of Indonesia releasing high-profile detainees on death row in recent years, as part of an effort to reduce tensions between the country and foreign governments.
