Frenchman on death row in Indonesia leaves jail ahead of transfer home

Frenchman Serge Atlaoui, on Indonesia's death row since 2007 for drug offenses, was released and transferred to France on humanitarian grounds due to illness. Arrested in 2005, he denied being a trafficker, claiming he was installing machinery in a suspected acrylic factory. Initially sentenced to life, it was later changed to death. His return follows a France-Indonesia agreement, amid Jakarta’s recent releases of high-profile detainees.
