British Gran Facing Death by Firing Squad Reveals Why She Feels Blessed - Liverpool Echo

BALI, INDONESIA, JUL 15 – Twelve years on death row, British nationals face execution by firing squad under Indonesia's strict drug laws, with 130 inmates awaiting similar sentences, officials say.

  • Since being sentenced to death by judges on January 22, 2013, Lindsay Sandiford, a grandmother from Britain, has remained on death row at Kerobokan Prison in Bali.
  • She was detained in Bali on May 19, 2012, after authorities discovered cocaine valued at £1.6 million concealed in her luggage, resulting in her conviction despite the prosecution’s recommendation for a 15-year sentence.
  • Sandiford claims coercion by a criminal gang threatening her family, and she has spent much of her time in solitary, knitting items to fund her legal appeals amid overcrowded, violent prison conditions.
  • She said, "I do feel I can cope with it," and declared, "My attitude is 'If you want to shoot me, shoot me,'" while expressing she feels "blessed" to have seen her sons grow up.
  • Lindsay Sandiford is among 130 inmates on Indonesia’s death row, where executions are infrequent and most prisoners spend more than ten years awaiting the enforcement of their sentences.
