Lindsay Sandiford was sentenced to death on the Indonesian island in January 2013 for drug trafficking after she was found with cocaine worth an estimated £1.6 million as she arrived. The 69-year-old, who was originally from Redcar, Teesside, admitted the offences but claimed she was coerced by threats to her son’s life. Both Britons have suffered severe health difficulties and Shahabadi was also due to fly to the UK on Friday. A death sentence was imposed on Sandiford despite prosecutors asking only for a 15-year jail term. Shahabadi had been serving a life sentence since 2014 after being arrested during a probe into an international drug trafficking network.
