The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed the Philippines and Indonesia are talking to come up with a “mutually agreed solution” in the case of Mary
Jane Veloso.
The confirmation came after Indonesia said it would consider transferring Veloso to a Philippine prison upon the country’s request.“I’d just like to confirm we’re doing all we can for Mary Jane Veloso. Certainly, the Indonesians and the Filipinos have been talking about this for some time, and we hope that we’ll come out with a mutually agreed solution, which will be to the utmost benefit for Miss Veloso and her family,” Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Migration Eduardo Jose De Vega said.
She was given a last-minute reprieve in April 2015 when Manila informed their counterparts in Jakarta that her recruiters had surrendered. On Nov. 11, Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correction said Jakarta is “currently considering” prisoner transfer for foreign inmates, including Veloso “in line with requests from the inmate’s home country.”
