Migrante International appealed in a statement to Indonesia’s new president, Prabowo Subianto, to grant clemency and release Filipino migrant Mary Jane Veloso at the earliest possible time. Subianto was officially declared Indonesia’s president on October 20.

“We appeal to the new president of Indonesia to protect victims of human trafficking and end the fourteen years of Mary Jane’s suffering on death row and prison,” Migrante International said.

Filipino migrant Veloso is a victim of human and drug trafficking, and has been imprisoned in Indonesia since 2010. The Filipino people’s efforts spared her from execution in 2015. She remains detained in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, despite a case filed and prosecution against her illegal recruiters and long-standing calls for her release.

“Nine years since charges of human trafficking were brought to Mary Jane’s recruiters in Nueva Ecija, no significant progress has been made on the part of the PH government to speed up the process of taking Mary Jane’s testimony in Indonesia to aid in the legal case,” the group said. Moreover, Marcos Jr himself failed to appeal directly for clemency for Mary Jane during former President Jokowi’s Manila visit earlier this year.

“The Marcos Jr administration must do away with its sluggishness and delays that are tantamount to years of denying justice for Mary Jane,” Migrante International added. The group hopes that Veloso’s freedom will be discussed and ensured in the upcoming talks between the Marcos regime and Prabowo.
