‘British grandmother on death row in Bali faces

execution as new president pledges 'no

mercy' for drug traffickers’

57-year-old Lindsey Sandiford from Cheltenham has been sentenced to death in Bali, Indonesia for smuggling £1.6 million worth of cocaine into the country. Despite several appeals in the past two months, President Widodo is reluctant to show mercy and has asserted his strong stance against drug trafficking.

President Widodo said: 'We want to send a warning to international drug syndicates that Indonesia doesn't want to be a stopping place, market place or even a place for producers of narcotics.'

The Harlow Student asked what people think about the death sentence and if capital punishment should ever be used.

Tom Johnson, 18, Old Harlow said “You should take the consequences if you decide to smuggle drugs, but I don’t think this woman should be killed because there’s worse things than smuggling drugs. The best thing to do is to take her back to the UK and punish her here by putting her in prison. I don’t know what I think about the UK bringing back capital punishment  - maybe just for murderers, rapists and paedophiles.”

Shaun Watkins, 17, Staple Tye said “ Whatever country your in when you commit the crime you have to follow their rules, that’s why I think this woman should be executed unless she’s been forced into it, that’s why the government should investigate the matter more to see if she really is guilty but If she’s found guilty she should be kept in Bali. I think we should bring back death penalty to the UK but only for murders and paedophiles.”

Media student Shaun Watkins and Tom Johnson on their views on the matter, and their thoughts on the death penalty in the U.K.

Annie Gillman, 17, Gilston said this; ‘ It is very infortunate as you do not know what truly went on with the suggling, for instance if she needed to do it. However U.K should not intervene as she committed the crime in Indonesia and it was a terrible mistake not to abide by their laws. Capital punishment is a delicate matter, but in some situations I feel it is necessary for child murderers and paedophiles.’
