15 long years of imprisonment for drug trafficking—a crime she claims she was duped into committing. Veloso’s story is a testament to hope, resilience, and the power of advocacy. Arrested in 2010 after heroin was discovered in her luggage, Veloso was sentenced to death despite maintaining her innocence. Her 2015 scheduled execution was halted at the last minute, sparking international attention and public outcry.
Now 40 years old, Mary Jane Veloso’s journey from death row to freedom is nothing short of miraculous. Her case has become a rallying point for discussions on human trafficking and justice for the wrongfully accused. Indonesia and the Philippines’ recently signed “practical arrangement” agreement paved the way for her release. As Veloso prepares to leave the Pondok Bambu women’s prison in Jakarta, her story offers hope to countless others facing injustice.
