An agreement has been reached to allow two British prisoners convicted of drug smuggling to return home to the UK, the Indonesian government has said.
Lindsay Sandiford, 69, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, had spent more than a decade on death row and 35-year-old Shahab Shahabadi, was serving a life sentence. Both are set to be transferred to the UK in about two weeks' time.
Sandiford was sentenced to death on the Indonesian island of Bali in 2013, after she was convicted of trafficking drugs.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting two British Nationals detained in Indonesia and are in close contact with the Indonesian authorities to discuss their return to the UK."
Customs officers found nearly five kilos of cocaine with a street value of £1.6m hidden in a false bottom in Sandiford's suitcase when she arrived on a flight from Thailand in 2012.
