UK 'strongly objects' to death penalty imposed on drug trafficker

The British Government has said it strongly objects to the death penalty imposed today on a British woman who trafficked drugs into Indonesia.

Lindsay Sandiford, 56, originally from Redcar, Teesside, was arrested in May last year after police in Bali said they found 10.6lb (4.8kg) of cocaine worth £1.6m (€1.9m) in the lining of her suitcase.
