Sandiford had been caught flying from Bangkok into Bali with cocaine worth an estimated £1.6m in May 2012.Sandiford, originally from Redcar in Teesside, was sentenced to death in January 2013 by judges of the District Court of Denpasar in Bali after being convicted of trafficking drugs. She claims she was asked to sign a court document she did not understand.She fears it could fast-track her execution by firing squad after Indonesia's new president Joko Widodo pledged no mercy to foreigners convicted of drug offences.
Speaking to her sister Hilary Parsons from Bali’s Kerobokan Prison by phone, Sandiford said: "If I sign the letter, am I signing my own death warrant?
"Am I saying, 'Go ahead and shoot me?' The letter is in Indonesian so I won’t even know what it says."The comments, reported by the Mail on Sunday, follows the execution of five foreigners in Indonesia last week who had been convicted of drug offences.
It comes after Mr Widodo promised he would crackdown on travellers found guilty of drug trafficking.
He was quoted to have said: "We want to send a warning to international drug syndicates that Indonesia doesn’t want to be a stopping place, market place or even a place for producers of narcotics."
