Lindsay Sandiford: Death Row Appeal Rejected

[Jazzy]

Indonesia's top court has rejected an appeal by a British grandmother sentenced to death for trafficking drugs into Bali.

Lindsay Sandiford was sentenced to death by firing squad in January.

A panel of three judges at the Supreme Court in Jakarta unanimously rejected her appeal.

The 57-year-old was arrested in May 2012 at Bali airport when customs officers found the drugs in her luggage.

Prosecutors say Sandiford was at the centre of a drugs ring involving three other Britons.

She says she was forced to transport the drugs under duress as her children's safety was threatened.

The death sentence came as a shock after prosecutors recommended 15 years imprisonment.

This is her second appeal against the ruling. A previous bid in April also failed

Sandiford can now seek a judicial review of the decision from the same court.

After that, only the president can grant her a reprieve, although experts have said this seldom happens in such cases.
