Indonesia has agreed to repatriate Lindsay Sandiford, a British grandmother who has spent over a decade on death row for cocaine trafficking. The seriously ill prisoner, now in her late 60s, will return to the UK following an agreement signed between Indonesian and British officials. This repatriation continues Indonesia's recent trend of releasing high-profile foreign drug offenders despite maintaining some of the world's toughest narcotics laws.
