Indonesia is considering transferring Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipino death-row inmate, to a prison in the Philippines. Veloso has been imprisoned in Jakarta
after she was arrested and eventually convicted on drug trafficking charges in 2010.
Minister Mahendra proposed two possible approaches for facilitating the transfer: direct bilateral negotiations between Jakarta and Manila, or the development of a comprehensive policy framework in Indonesia for prisoner transfers. “Our nation’s sovereignty in prosecuting crimes committed by foreign nationals must be fully respected. However, if a foreign national prisoner has been returned to their home country, the responsibility for their rehabilitation rests with that country, including decisions on whether to grant remission or clemency, all of these decisions are handed over to the respective country,” he said.
“The Philippines is also expected to recognize this decision and enforce the sentence as determined in Indonesia. This policy serves as part of a reciprocal cooperation between the two countries to respect and strengthen international law enforcement,” the statement said.
