The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed Tuesday that the Philippine and Indonesian governments are in active discussions about the possible transfer of Filipino death row inmate Mary Jane Veloso.
Veloso has been on Indonesia’s death row for over 14 years following her conviction for drug trafficking. Discussions about her potential transfer grew after the Indonesian government announced its openness to the idea, citing its respect for the Philippines’ diplomatic request. Mahendra clarified that once foreign prisoners are transferred to their home countries, the responsibility for their rehabilitation lies entirely with those nations. This includes decisions on clemency or sentence modifications, which would rest solely with the receiving government.
