Indonesia considers transferring Mary Jane Veloso to Philippine prison after 14 years on death row

Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipina on death row in Indonesia for 14 years, may be transferred to a Philippine prison. Indonesia is considering this under its "transfer of prisoner" policy, discussed in a meeting with the Philippine ambassador. The Indonesian government is formulating a policy for foreign prisoners, including Veloso. If approved, she would serve her remaining sentence in the Philippines, with the Philippine government expected to enforce the Indonesian court's ruling. Veloso's legal counsel noted that her case could be considered for clemency based on humanitarian grounds and her status as a human trafficking victim. The Philippine government has previously sought her release, and her family remains hopeful about the potential transfer.
