(Photo courtesy of Migrante)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>MANILA \u2013 Filipino group Migrante International worried that convicted drug trafficker Mary Jane Veloso may be included in the next batch of convicts to be executed by firing squad next week.<\/p>\n<p>The initial list of convicts on death row included Frenchman Serge Atlaoui who was previously granted a temporary reprieve. Veloso, while not included in the list, has been in temporary reprieve for three months now.<\/p>\n<p>Migrante secretary-general Sol Pillas then urged the Philippine government to hasten the cases of Veloso\u2019s alleged recruiters who may prove her innocence and may spare her from execution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMary Jane remains on the brink of death for as long as the death sentence is not lifted. It is incumbent upon the Department of Justice and the Philippine government to act with considerable haste and urgency and to regularly update its counterpart, the Indonesian Attorney General\u2019s Office (AGO), and the Veloso family on the developments of the cases filed against Sergio et al,\u201d Pillas said, emphasizing that Veloso\u2019s reprieve was only temporary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been more than two months and they (AGO) are still waiting for updates. Please, let us not abuse the Indonesian government\u2019s patience and tolerance. Every minute still counts,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Wary on the uncertainty of Veloso\u2019s reprieve, Migrante intended to file a petition to the Indonesian Embassy asking for Veloso\u2019s life to be spared from execution.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), on the other hand, has yet to confirm the report from the Indonesian government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Filipino group Migrante International worried that convicted drug trafficker Mary Jane Veloso may be included in the next &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":54791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,1145,16,95],"tags":[249],"class_list":["post-54790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-headline","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-rewrite","mauthors-cyra-moraleda","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
