A British grandmother broke down in tears today [Jan. 22] and cried 'no, no, no' as she was sentenced to death for trying to smuggle almost 5kg of cocaine into Bali in her suitcase.



Lindsay Sandiford, from Gloucestershire, was arrested in May last year as she entered Indonesia on a flight from Thai capital Bangkok with £1.6million worth of the Class A drug stuffed in her luggage.



Sandiford insisted she was set up and was forced by a gang to smuggle drugs to Bali to protect her children.

However, a court in Bali found she was at the centre of an alleged drug ring involving three other Britons and did not appear to have shown remorse.



On hearing the sentence, Sandiford wept and declined to comment as she was led back to prison, covering her face with a scarf. Her lawyer said it was likely an appeal would be launched against the sentence.



"We object to the sentence. We never expected that our client would get the death penalty", said counsel Esra Karokaro. "We will discuss it first with her, most likely we will appeal”.



Prisoners sentenced to death in Indonesia are executed by a 10 man firing squad.



Though the sentence can be overturned on appeal, prisoners will often spend years waiting for their fate to be decided. A report by Australia’s Lowy Institute last year said five foreign nationals have been executed in Indonesia since 1998, all for drug crimes.
