Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipino worker sentenced to death in Indonesia for drug trafficking in 2010, will return to the Philippines after over a decade of diplomatic efforts. Veloso’s execution was postponed in 2015. Advocates and the Philippines government argued she was a victim of human trafficking.
The Philippines’ president, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Romualdez Marcos Jr., announced on Tuesday (November 19), that Veloso was finally “coming home.”
Taking to his official social media, Bongbong wrote: “Arrested in 2010 on drug trafficking charges and sentenced to death, Mary Jane’s case has been a long and difficult journey.
“After over a decade of diplomacy and consultations with the Indonesian government, we managed to delay her execution long enough to reach an agreement to finally bring her back to the Philippines.
