FOUND: Drug smuggling british gran waits for execution date - You Need To See This

A British grandmother living on death row spends her time knitting as she is locked up in a Bali prison for drug smuggling, The Mirror reports. Lindsay Sandiford has been in Kerobokan Prison for almost a decade, having been arrested in 2013 for trying to smuggle £1.6 million worth of cocaine into Indonesia.

In Indonesia, the punishment for this crime is death by firing squad. Prisoners can choose to sit or stand before armed soldiers take their shots, aiming for the heart.

If a prisoner manages to survive, the commander then shoots them in the head. The 65-year-old gran is still waiting for her execution date as Indonesia carries them out infrequently, and prisoners can be left waiting on death row for more than 10 years.
