A British woman has avoided execution for drug smuggling in Indonesia under an agreement between the two countries. Lindsay Sandiford, 68, has been imprisoned in Bali since 2012 after being caught with cocaine. She was sentenced to death in 2013. Another Briton, Shahab Shahabadi, 35, has been serving a life sentence since 2014 also for drug trafficking. On Tuesday, the U.K. and Indonesia signed a repatriation agreement for the two prisoners. Officials say Sandiford is seriously ill. The transfer will occur after technical steps are completed. Indonesia has sent several foreign prisoners home under similar agreements.
