She wanted to see her granddaughter. Anyone who thinks the 59-year-old is terminally ill is wrong. She is sentenced to death for smuggling cocaine. In Bali, Sandiford is waiting to be shot. Now she was allowed to see her little granddaughter for the first and last time.

The story of the 59-year-old Briton went around the world: Sandiford was arrested at the airport in May 2012. In the luggage about 4.8 kilos of cocaine. She is accused of smuggling the drugs on the party island. Total value: around two million euros. Anyone who trades drugs in Indonesia must expect the death penalty.

Sandiford claimed to have been blackmailed by the drug traffickers . They threatened to harm their son if she did not smuggle the drugs. However, the court did not consider their statement credible and contradictory. She was therefore sentenced to death by shooting.

Human rights organizations consider the verdict too hard. Even the smuggling of 5 grams can be punished in Indonesia with death.

Now the last wish of the death candidate has been fulfilled. She was allowed to see her little granddaughter for the first time. Most likely it will be the last time for the 59-year-old. Soon the death sentence is to be executed. During the visit of the granddaughter in prison, this touching photo emerged:

On lindsaysandiford.org Sandifords family and supporters fight for a reduction of the punishment. Here the Brit also tells her whole story. She probably will not be able to save her life before she dies, because the Indonesian government has already announced that she will have executed all prisoners sentenced to death by the end of 2015.
