A woman from the Philippines convicted in Indonesia for drug smuggling and sentenced to death will not be among the first round of executions carried out when capital punishment is resumed after a lull, the attorney general said on Friday. "Not yet," Attorney General H.M. Prasetyo told reporters when asked about Veloso. Authorities have not given a breakdown of the numbers of foreigners on death row but citizens of France, Britain and the Philippines are known to be among them. After the outcry, authorities said they were postponing executions while the government focused on reviving he economy. Indonesia imposed a moratorium on executions for five years before resuming them in 2013.
