A British grandmother on death row in Indonesia has said she is deeply saddened by the execution of two Australians.
They were part of a group of convicted drug smugglers known as the Bali Nine who faced the death squad.
Lindsay Sandiford is facing a simliar fate in Indonesia for drugs offences. She said;
‘Many things have been said about whether Andrew and Myuran deserved to die for their crimes.
‘I didn’t know those men at the time they committed those crimes 10 years ago. What I can say is that the Andrew and Myuran I knew were men who did good and touched the lives of a great many people, including myself.’
Ms Sandiford, from Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, said Chan was a ‘close friend and confidante’ when they were in Kerobokan prison together.
‘He counselled and helped me through exceptionally difficult times after I was sentenced to death in 2013,’ she added.
‘Myu and Andrew used their time in Kerobokan to make life better for everyone around them. They introduced the concept of rehabilitation to a prison that never had it before.
