“I have been imprisoned for fifteen years in Indonesia for a crime that I did not do.” she added, fighting back tears as her arm was draped on her mother’s shoulder and her two sons stood close by. “Welcome home Mary Jane,” read a huge banner carried by relatives and supporters who were clasping flowers.
The government will ensure Veloso’s safety and welfare as she continues to serve her sentence in the country, the statement added. Marcos did not mention clemency, and presidential palace officials earlier said there has been no decision about the family’s appeal. Veloso, who will turn 40 next month, was arrested in 2010 at an airport in the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta, where officials discovered about 2.6 kilograms of heroin hidden in her luggage. The single mother of two sons was convicted and sentenced to death.
