A British grandmother facing the death penalty for drug smuggling has made a final appeal against her sentence, according to human rights campaigners.
Lindsay Sandiford, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, is facing execution by firing squad after being convicted of smuggling £1.6m worth of cocaine into Bali.
The 56-year-old lost her first appeal against the ruling last month but has now taken her case to Indonesia's Supreme Court, pressure group Reprieve said.
Police arrested her at Bali's airport last May after a routine check uncovered 4.8kg (10.6lb) of cocaine hidden in the lining of her suitcase.
Prosecutors say Sandiford was at the centre of a drugs ring involving three other Britons.
But she claims she was forced to transport the drugs under duress as her children's safety was threatened.
She received the death sentence despite prosecutors asking only for a 15-year jail term, after she was accused of damaging the image of Bali.
The British Government has refused to fund her defence, leaving her to turn to donations from supporters and the public via the JustGiving website.
If the Supreme Court also rejects her appeal, she can then seek a judicial review of the decision from the same court.
After that, only the president can grant her a reprieve - although experts say this seldom happens in such cases.
