The government has announced that after 14 years of detention in Indonesia, Mary Jane Veloso will return to the Philippines — but does this mean she is free?

Her daughter may not be safe in the Philippines. This is what the mother of Mary Jane Veloso, an overseas Filipino worker on Indonesian death row for drug trafficking, said about the announcement of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

After 14 years on death row, Mary Jane Veloso is finally returning home to the Philippines, as Indonesia signals a more humane approach to foreign prisoners under President Prabowo Subianto. It remains uncertain, however, whether the 39-year-old Filipino will be transferred to a Philippine prison or released upon her return.
