President Joko “Jokowi”
Widodo said on Monday that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had given
the green light for the execution of Filipina death row inmate
Mary Jane Veloso.
“I
have explained to [Duterte] about Mary Jane’s situation and I told him that
Mary Jane [has been found guilty] for carrying 2.6 kilograms of heroin. I also
told him about the delay in the execution during the meeting,” Jokowi said.
Veloso was arrested at Adisucipto Airport
in Yogyakarta in April 2010.
Veloso was excluded from the list of the
third round of executions prepared by the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) in
April, as legal procedures continue in a separate but related case in her
country. Veloso was on the execution list last year but was granted a stay of
execution because her alleged boss had been arrested in the Philippines, and
the authorities there requested Indonesian assistance in pursuing the case.
