Frenchman on Indonesian Death Row to be Repatriated

Serge Atlaoui, a French national, has been on death row in Indonesia since 2007 for drug offenses. He will be repatriated to France, marking the sixth high-profile detainee released by Indonesia. The agreement for his transfer was signed by Indonesia's Senior Law and Human Rights Minister, Yusril Ihza Mahendra. Atlaoui's release is significant, particularly given his deteriorating health, with reports indicating that he suffers from a serious illness and receives weekly medical treatment at a hospital. The transfer follows the release of several other high-profile detainees, including members of the Bali Nine drug ring.
