Lindsay Sandiford, now in her late 60s, was sentenced to death on the island of Bali in 2013 after she was convicted of trafficking drugs.
Lindsay Sandiford, 68, was arrested after arriving in Bali in 2012 when Indonesian authorities found cocaine worth €2.1 million in her suitcase.Indonesia signed an agreement on Tuesday to repatriate two British nationals, including a seriously ill grandmother on death row for more than a decade on drug charges, a minister said.
